Q: Will license get suspended?
My 16 year old son just received his second speeding ticket in less than 6 months in IL. On the first ticket, we went to court, plead guilty and requested driving school/supervision. He completed the 4 hour class. Will he be allowed to request traffic school again or will his license be suspended?

A: The court is allowed to grant two court supervisions within a 12 month period. Just as in the last case, a parent or guardian will have to accompany your son to court and he will have to take a safe driving course.

A: It is ultimately up to the judge. Technically, he can receive supervision twice within 12 months (with a requirement that he complete traffic school). Two convictions within 2 years would cause a license suspension.

A: Assuming the prosecutor on the first ticket does not file a violation of his Court Supervision, your son will not have his license suspended. You really should consider hiring an attorney to assist him with this new ticket because I second Court Supervision so close to the first will be difficult to obtain on your own.
