Q: I'm on court supervision right now and got another ticket. will I lose my license, or is there a way I can save it?
I'm 21 years old, I'm on court supervision for running a stop sign. The new ticket is for speeding.
A: You need to hire a traffic lawyer in the counties that your tickets are in. If the counties are the same or close together, perhaps you can use one lawyer to do both of them. Usually a lawyer can handle this without a lot of problems, but it is unlikely that a person representing himself or herself can do so.
Juan Ooink agrees with this answer
A: It takes 3 convictions within 12 months to cause a license suspension when you are 21 years of age or older. As a result, you are not currently facing the loss of your driving privileges. Also, you can receive court supervision up to 2 times within a 12 month period, but it is ultimately up to the judge. An attorney can likely assist you in avoiding a conviction on the new ticket.

A: You are currently not at risk of losing your license, but a bigger concern is receiving a conviction on this new stop sign ticket and having your insurance cost increase. You should hire an attorney to increase your odds of receiving Court Supervision a second time.
