Q: How do I get court supervision for a second time in 12 months?
I got my first ticket for speeding, 20 over, 55 in 35, at age 17, received and completed supervision, just got a second ticket at age 18, going 25 over, 90 in a 65, 6 days shy of 12 months from first. How do I get court supervision again?
A: If you are under the age of 21 - two moving violations within a 36 month period will trigger a drivers license suspension. Court Supervision will avoid a suspension but that is entirely up to the judge if you are found guilty. Best to bring a traffic lawyer with you to Court.
A:
You are eligible for supervision twice a year. They don't have to give it to you. The potential danger will be if they revoke your first supervision and don't give it to you on the second one. Just like that you have two convictions and get suspended.
They can't just revoke the first one without filing papers before the supervision term is up. They may not find out if you are in a different county on the second one. Or they may find out and not care.
Might try and get a lawyer involved if you can afford one.
