Are there laws about what the maximum (and sometimes minimum) speed limits are? Why yes there are? Therefore speeding is an illegal act for which someone can be punished by the government and an activity that is against the law, and in many cases an act that is foolish and wrong. Therefore, speeding is a "crime" and according to you all criminals should be removed from society. I can throw those terms right back at you. Hmmm.
So is littering, jaywalking, parking in a handicap only parking area, failure to signal, netc.

A speeding or moving violation may result in a fine, affect your ability to get a driver's license, or raise your car insurance rates, but it will not result in jail time or other criminal punishments in most situations. The laws for speeding and moving violations vary widely by states, counties, and cities, so be sure that you are aware of your rights and obligations.
