If you receive a traffic ticket or citation, that odds are you will simply pay it without much consideration for the consequences. You may be setting yourself up for even more extreme penalties than you possibly think. Traffic violations can negatively impact your car insurance rates, and if you receive multiple violations in a short amount of time, your Illinois driver’s license could be in jeopardy. If you receive a traffic ticket in Rock Island County, Henry County, or Mercer County Illinois, or any of the surrounding areas, it is wise to consult an experienced traffic attorney to determine how best to proceed.
