Q: my 16 year old son got a speeding ticket going 85 in a 60 zone will the judge take his license he has been in no trouble
A: Judges almost never take drivers licenses. Rather, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety administers drviers licenses. One way to get your drivers license ("DL") revoked to is be deemed a "habitual violator" under the administrative rules for the Minnesota Department of Public Safety -- too many moving violations with a 12 or 24 month period. One would not tirgger that. Certain driving-related convictions can result in DL revocation, such as DWI, driving without insurance, driving after revocation (of DL), etc. The only single incident of a speeding related violation of 100 mph or faster. He may want to go to court to try to keep the speeding ticket off of his DL record.
