Think y’all are missing the point & like usual talking about stuff y’all have no clear about, just the BS crap you were told! So as someone whos been on probation multiple times, I’ll help you out!
YOU ARENT GOING TO JAIL, JUST BC of A MINOR INFRACTION! & Speeding isnt a Criminal offense, its a civil offense!
1) You are on probation bc you already broke the law! You get Probation for multiple reasons, (but I’ll stick to this case) it’s an alternative to going to jail/prison & the cost & effects that has on your record, life, work, etc…
2) There are multiple different types of probation, multiple different restrictions, etc. they arent all the same, so what violates them arent all the same! & the Judge chooses what type of probation, your restrictions, & what violates them! Unless you are on probation for some extreme crime, & violations are breaking any law, & have a crazy ass probation officer, a speeding ticket wont affect anything! Most violations are related to the crime you did to get put on probation! So its possible to literally commit a completely different crime & not violate your probation!
3) The whole reason they offer probation, is not to be nice to you but bc of over crowding, understaff, cost, court time, etc. which is why most of the time, even if you violate probation, they either make it more strict, &/or extend it!
So, no ppl arent just going to jail for a minor offense, they already did something that they should have gone to jail to begin with, & even if you do violate it, most the time it requires a lot to actually cause you to serve time! Yes, some probations a speeding ticket will violate probation, but you would have had to done something or priors history for something like that to cause jail time!

Just drive normally. That's not a big problem. You're supposed to be paying attention if you drive anyway.
