If your license is suspended or revoked, you do not have to
break the law for the police to stop you.
Even if your license is suspended for something minor, such as
not paying a ticket, under the current law there can be mandatory
jail sentences after a certain number of offenses.
Under Illinois law, the driver of the vehicle that has no insurance
gets the ticket, even if youare driving someone else's vehicle and
did not know. This also applies even if your personal insurance
would cover you in the event of an accident.
If you are under age 21, two convictions over a 24 month period
results in a driver's license suspension.
The judge and the prosecutors are not required to advise you of
possible consequences to your driver's license. The legislature
continues to stiffen penalties for repeat offenders on all types of
charges. Do not go into court without understanding the potential
ramifications to your driving privileges.
In some cases, you can change things that have already been
done in court in order to save your license !!!
