Chicago, IL asked in Traffic Tickets for Illinois

Q: I received a moving violation in Cook County on 4/30 and completed traffic school. I then got a cell phone violation

(my second cell phone violation overall) in Lake County on 5/19. The ticketing officer recommended applying for traffic school, but I don't know if i qualify? Is it different if the tickets are in two different counties?

A: You may still be eligible to request traffic school in Lake County without appearing in court if that option was given. I would suggest contacting the Clerk's Office to verify your eligibility before sending in payment. A second cell phone ticket is a moving violation.
