Re: violation of probation

Your question is compound, so it needs to be answered in sections. A violation of the law is a violation of probation. Whether you go to jail or not depends on the judge and the facts associated with your case. 18 over the speed limit could have some aggravating factors. To give you a better answer I would need more information, but I don't think you are going to jail. That may not be all your potential problems, however, and for that reason you need to speak to an attorney.
