I just got two speeding tickets in the last week, essentially a block away from eachother. I am 17. Will I be able to "take care" of these, ensuring I will not get "points"?

You need to get these points charged against your license. If you have 2 speeding tickets already in such a short period of time, you are a danger to others and need to be punished and learn how to drive safely. Obviously you learned nothing from your first ticket. Your age group has a higher chance of dying in a car crash than any other cause. If I were your dad, I would take away your driving privilege, hoping that you may live longer to mature and become a safer, conscientious driver. Get a bicycle until then. You are unsafe. The grief of the parent of a dead teenager is something that no parent should have to experience.
Locally, three nice young girls were killed while speeding and hit a tree. Another young girl was killed while texting while driving. In my high school , seven of my classmates were killed in one crash, speeding was the cause.
Driving is a privilege for everyone who drives, not a right.
Again, you are not ready yet, you will die or kill someone else. Get a bicycle or a bus pass. Not real cool, but being dead is really uncool. There are no do overs when some one is dead! I hope you show this messege and your tickets to your parents.

im not quite sure what you mean-'will i be able to take care of these' maybe ive not read it right, but, you really shouldnt be speeding in the first place. ive been in a very near miss accident, and i can tell you, had the other car- the one that was speeding- been an inch or two infront of where he was, or if we had been a minute behind in time, it would have been a whole different story. probably wouldnt be here writing this now. its very scary and i will never forget that car hurtling towards us..just think what its like for people who have been in serious accidents or worse. please, curb your speed..or next time you might just not be so lucky to get a speeding ticket. the other thing is if you carry on, you will lose your licence the way you're going ! drive safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you keep getting away with speeding, you'll keep doing it until you kill yourself, or worse, some innocent person in a different car, or worse yet, some little kid in a back seat.
Driving is a privelege, not a right. Learn your lesson now instead of later in a tragedy. PAY THE TICKETS and QUIT SPEEDING. You're doing nothing but making the roads on which I have to drive unsafe for ME.

In many jursisdictions, the clerk at the window that takes payment for tickets will point you to a place where you can get "reductions." Bascially, lowering your fine and avoiding insurance points.
You can also consult an attorney. Some people find themselves getting numerous letters from attorneys after getting tickets. They offer to "take care" of things for a fee. It may be worth it, because you certainly don't want your insurance rates to go up, esp. with 2 tickets.

I've found the best way to avoid or lessen points is to fight the ticket and go to traffic court. there they make a deal with you about points, whereas if youo just plead guilty on the ticket you have to take whatever the points are for that ticket.

That would depend on where you got them. In Illinois, if you're under 21 and get convicted of 2 moving violations, your license will be suspended. I'd call a lawyer on this one.
Hope this helps.

No way you are going to get away with speeding. This will increase your insurance for next year! Drive safe sonny, you don't want to lose your license
