Is there such a thing as felony speeding in Pa?
Now, on with the blog post, let’s answer the question “what is felony speeding in Pa?”.
Well, there’s actually no such thing as felony speeding in Pennsylvania.
But, there are a couple of things that could be close to what most people would think of as felony speeding.
Felony flight could be mistaken as felony speeding in Pa
The first is felony flight, that involves driving away from a police officer under certain circumstances at a high rate of speed for a prolonged period of time.
That’s one situation where you might mistake felony flight for felony speeding in pa.
Felony speeding could be referring to being caught in excess of 31 miles per hour over the speed limit
Sometimes people refer to felony speeding as being caught in excess of 31 miles an hour over the speed limit.
It’s not a felony, but if you are a Pennsylvania licensed driver, it triggers an automatic suspension of your driver’s license and a hearing in front of Pendant, so it has some more consequences than a regular speeding ticket.
What is felony speeding in Pa conclusion:
So, while “felony speeding” does not technically exist as a criminal charge in the state of Pennsylvania, you could be referring to either of the circumstances mentioned above, or another type of speeding charge.
That’s why it’s important, if you are facing any type of a speeding citation in Pa, to have a consultation with a qualified criminal defense attorney near you to determine whether or not you are facing consequences beyond simply paying a little fine.
