Q: Will my license get suspended?
I got a ticket last July 26,2019 and I just got another ticket July 22 2020. I’m 20 years old in the state of Illinois. My 2019 ticket, I too the safety school and finished court supervision. Will I get my license suspended?
A: No. Supervision means that one didn’t count. Moreover, you are eligible to request supervision for this newest ticket.
Juan Ooink agrees with this answer
A: Court supervision does not count toward a license suspension, so you are not in jeopardy of a license suspension unless you received another conviction within the last 24 months of the pending ticket. However, you should still try to avoid a conviction on the new ticket. You can technically receive court supervision twice within a 12 month period. Of course, this is at the discretion of the judge. You may want the assistance of an attorney.
Juan Ooink agrees with this answer
A: No, your license will not be suspended because Court Supervision is not a conviction. When you are under 21, your license will be suspended if you received two moving violation convictions within a 24 month period. Supervision is not a conviction, so another ticket, even if it is a conviction, will not cause your license to be suspended. Also, you are allowed two Court Supervisions every 12 months, but a second Court Supervision is not guaranteed. To increase your odds of receiving Court Supervision a second time, you should hire an attorney to assist you with this new ticket.
