Question: how long will you be in jail for not paying a speeding ticket?
Answer: You could face a fine of $500 to $5,000 and jail time of 10 days to 12 months. In some cases, you may have your driver's license suspended for 6 months to 2 years. If you create a risk of death or injury to anyone, including yourself, in the process, the penalties will be much harsher.
