Legal Question in Traffic Law in Illinois

Suspention

My Drivers Lisence was suspended because When I was pulled over in 2006 for spending I didn't have my current insurance card, but I did have Insurane. The Judge gave me 6 month supervision and said I needed SR-22 Insurance Even though I had my Insurance card. Can I fight the SR-22 and Suspention?

Re: Suspention

If you had insurance at the time of the original arrest, you may be able to motion the case back into court and bring the insurance and ask that the order be changed to a dismissal. This is perhaps probelematic as the case is 2 years old and that in some situations is beyond the limit to bring a case back. However, at this point if you get the SR-22 insurance and keep it in effect for a year, you should have the suspension lifted as soon as you get the insurance, assuming that is the only reason your license is suspended. In the meantime, do not drive until this cleared up.
