I’m 17, live in Illinois, and some months ago received a ticket and court date for driving with no insurance but the charge was dropped. I today received a speeding ticket for going 20 over and will be appearing in court for this as well in about a month. Will my license get revoked?

Neither suspended nor revoked if you properly described your driving record and the disposition of the first ticket. What you should do is request court to provision, so it does not get written up as a conviction. The reason this is important is if you have a conviction on this one, you have to... View More 
The first ticket was about 4 months after I got my license and it was 22 over. The judge reduced it to a loud exhaust. 6 months later I got a ticket for 15 over. Should I be worried about my license being taken away and would taking a driving course before my court date be beneficial?

Yes. Assuming you were convicted of the first ticket and if you are convicted of this one, your license will be suspended. To avoid that you should request court supervision on the new ticket. You’ll have to bring a parent or guardian with you to court and get the permission of the judge to... View More
I was given a speeding ticket 2 days before my hearing for another ticket, if I am offered court supervision for the 1st will it affect the second ticket?

The first thing you should do is ask for supervision on the second ticket. In order for them to revoke the supervision on the first ticket, they would have to know about it. (I don’t know if they were both in the same county) and then file papers with the judge to have the supervision revoked).... View More

I assume you are revoked. You must have a hearing with the Illi Secretary of State.
That requires obtaining a drug and alcohol evaluation, completing required classes and proving to the secretary at the hearing that you can be a safe and responsible driver, if given driving privileges.... View More
I recently received a ticket for going 22mph over the limit in Will County. I also got a warning for following too close. I have a ticket with court supervision from a different county in Illinois from a little over a year ago. How likely are my chances of court supervision? Also, is it better to... View More

Practices on these maters vary by jurisdiction so a Will County judge would now better. A judge can give supervision to you up to two times in a period of 12 months. I think you get probably qualify again. I don't think it maters how you do it.

If he observed you committing the offense in his jurisdiction and followed you to another jurisdiction definitely. If he saw you committing the offense in another jurisdiction, while he was in his jurisdiction, highly likely that he can. Most jurisdictions have cross jurisdiction agreements.

You will be found in violation of the program. Your next hearing will have to be a formal hearing. Your evaluator must address the violation and determine if you need additional treatment and/or need to be reclassified. The chances you will be reinstated are almost 0 and at most expect a permit.

There is no such thing as being charged with being arrested. Being arrested is a factual statement. In the broadest sense, if a cop detains you, it could be construed as an arrest.
He had a choice 2 yrs ago of either 30 days in jail or 300 hours of community service. He has court tomorrow and know that he will have to do the 30 days. Will he need an attorney present for this?

An attorney might be able to negotiate an extension. Have to find one in the county of the case, which is not me.

Week later is not unusual. But an arrest a week later he comes to arrest her, after he has already issued the citation? That is very odd. In fact, arresting someone for an no insurance ticket is strange. If I were you, I would have a conversation with the chief of police for the department.
I have one previous speeding ticket from 3 years ago. I had to simply pay a fine. This one is court mandatory. I’m not really sure what I should do next.

Show up and if you do not like the offer, tell them you want a lawyer. If they offer court supervision, take it.

Take a photo of the plate, go to court and prove you are in compliance and probably get the ticket dropped. It is not a violation that would be recorded to your driving record. It’s kind of ridiculous waste of time on the cop's behalf though.

I may be misunderstanding your question, but in a regular traffic ticket, the ticket itself is your complaint, which includes the allegations against you, the legal code you are led to violated and the date time and location of your first court appearance.
Or can they mail you the ticket in the mail and how long do they have to do that

They can mail it. Hand deliver. No requirement that they hand you the ticket on the spot.

You should direct this question to an Iowa lawyer. It does not implicate Illinois law. Illinois is simply following the interstate compact in requiring you to clear up any holds in other states.

This should be directed to an Indiana attorney for specifics, but in general, I was speeding, but I wasn’t speeding as fast as a claim is not a good defense.

If you are surrendering your Illinois drivers license, Illinois loses jurisdiction. The question of what Indiana will require should be posed to an Indiana lawyer.
