Q: My boyfriend got a dui in one county and violated probation and got another one 9 months later in another county.
He hasn’t lost his license yet. He got away with basically nothing from the first dui. Now that he has violated his probation and got another dui what would be expected might happen. This is in illinois.
A:
He could very well end up with two convictions, particularly since they are in two different counties. If he only ends up with one conviction , his license will be revoked for a minimum of 12 months. If he receives to convictions, he will have to drive on a restrictive permit for five years with a breath machine, regardless of how long he waits to apply. I have.
In the meantime, in a couple of weeks he will receive a notice from the secretary of state suspending his license for 1-3 years. One year if he took the test in three years if he refused. That will start 46 days after his arrest.
