Q: Can I get court supervision again for a speeding ticket in IL?

A: First off, nice job of laying out all the relevant facts. You completed the first supervision successfully. They can't undo that now.

As far as what your chances are on the second one, hard to say but there is no law that says you cannot receive another supervision based upon the particular prior offense. Might be a higher fine; I don't know because that type of thing varies by courthouse and know nothing about DuPage. An idea is to go yourself, see what the offer is. if you don't like them, tell the judge you want a continuance to find a lawyer.

A: As a general rule, you’re typically able to get supervision twice within a one year period. Obviously the offer you may receive from the State will take into consideration your driving record, and the time frames in which you had supervision. Generally speaking, you may be looking at a slightly higher fine, but you would not be per se precluded from obtaining a disposition of court supervision. If you run into any interference at your first appearance, you might request a continuance in order to seek qualified local counsel who should be able to assist you.

A: You're in a tight spot, but not without options. In Illinois, drivers under 21 are generally only allowed one court supervision for a moving violation during a 24-month period. Since your previous supervision in December 2024 was related to a covered license plate—not a moving violation like speeding—you might still be eligible to request supervision for this June 1 ticket. That said, your behavior at the time of the first ticket (doing donuts in a parking lot) could still influence how the judge views your case.

The judge in DuPage County will look at your driving history, how recently you completed your last supervision, and the speed at which you were ticketed. Going 25 mph over the limit is serious and might make the court more hesitant to grant supervision again so soon. However, if you show that you've taken responsibility—for example, by completing a defensive driving course before your court date, or preparing a respectful explanation—they may be more willing to consider it. A sincere attitude and proof of clean behavior since your last case can help.

Be honest in court and express your intent to improve your driving habits. If you're granted supervision again, take it seriously because another violation could put your license at risk. You're young, and mistakes happen, but the court also wants to see you're learning from them. The way you present yourself on June 25 can make all the difference.
