The 2012 version of Section 5-6-1(p) of Unified Code of Corrections, which precluded disposition of supervision for those who have violated speed parameters of Section 11-601.5 of Vehicle Code (speed of 26 mph or more in excess of speed limit), does not violate proportionate penalty clause or due process. Restrictions on disposition of supervision is not an unreasonable or arbitrary means of address or deterring excessive speeding. (GARMAN, THOMAS, KILBRIDE, and THEIS, concurring; BURKE and FREEMAN, specially concurring.)
