Legal Question in Traffic Law in Illinois

Two speeding tickets in 10 days

I've received two speeding tickets in the last 10 days (driving 82mph and 83mph on 55 mph limit). Also, I've received a speeding ticket 7 months ago and completed an on-line driving safety school, so it did not appear on my record. Both police officers confirmed I have nothing on my driving record.

What are my options to avoid being convicted for the tickets I've received recently? Can I avoid at least one conviction and get only one? Does State of IL count the first ticket I've received (7 months ago). Can I ask for a 90 days supervision? Can I ask to complete another school class? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Re: Two speeding tickets in 10 days

I would need to know where these two tickets are, what court you need to be in on them, and perhaps a bit more info in order to attempt an answer. You may call me for a free telephone consultation at 314-727-2822.

Re: Two speeding tickets in 10 days

You may still be eligible for supervision on the tickets. It is certainly something you wish to attempt to obtain. You note that you did the online traffic safety school. There are also in person four hour and eight hour classes. Some judges refer to the eight hour school as "graduate school" for those who did the four hour school and did not slow down. At any rate either situation is one you wish to pursue as three convictions within twelve months will result in a suspension of your driving privileges. The best oppurtunity to protect your driving privileges is with a lawyer. If you wish to speak about your upcoming court dates call our Chicago office at 312-578-9390
