A: Twice a year is the maximum. Does not mean it’s automatic but it is available.

A: It is very unlikely that you are eligible to take another traffic school course without appearing in court. The instructions on the ticket may explain that you can only do so once a year. However, you can receive court supervision twice within a 12 month period under Illinois law, but it is not automatic. The judge would need to agree to a second order of court supervision. It is also importantly to note that you may be in violation of the court supervision imposed on your initial ticket. I would suggest speaking directly to an attorney to review your record, discuss the specifics and determine the best strategy.
