Does getting a speeding ticket and then going to the court and pleading guilty count as #2?

In most states, no. Some states consider some traffic tickets to be misdemeanors. But for the majority of us, the answer is no.

I made a prohibited right turn (on a green light), and received a ticket for "Failure to obey traffic control devices." From reading my state's code, I believe this is considered a misdemeanor. Okay now I feel sick.

Med schools still probably won't care.

I drove 50 mph on a main road with 35 mph in a particular region. The speed limit keeps changing along that road and it was an empty road that day. The worst thing is that my insurance card is expired. I used to live in maryland, where the expiration of the insurance card does not matter, as long as you have the policy number and the policeman can check. Then I just moved to Illinois with a maryland license plate on my car. The police said the insurance card has to be updated. Even though I said I can call the insurance company or go online to download a new version of the insurance card, he insisted to charge me with no insurance proof and speeding and gave me an court order. I went to the court and saw a lot of people there just for speeding. I have been caught speeding in Maryland and have just been given warnings.

Is this considered misdemeanors in Illinois, where can check on that?
