HELP!! I think my driver's license was incorrectly suspended?

Question

I just got a notice in the mail from the Secretary of State in Illinois stating my driver's license was suspended for being CONVICTED of more than three offenses in a 12-month period. The dates of the offenses are barely within 12 months (the first being 3-24-05 and the fourth 3-22-06). But the first two conviction dates were 2005 and the last two were in 2007, which is more than 12 months apart and that's what the vehicle code states. I am planning to call and complain but I want to know if I can get rid of this suspension because of the wording and the fact that my convictions are two years apart.
I also think it's unfair because it has been 19 months since my last ticket and they could have suspended my license in 2006, instead my suspension is slated to begin 11-30-07. Is this worth fighting? Do I have a chance to get rid of it because that is what the wording says.

Please do not leave stupid or ignorant remarks. I really want good advice, I do not need to be lectured about my driving or told any other unnecessary advice.

Also, these are speeding tickets for 10 mph, not DUI or any really major violations.

Answer 1

In Illinois, your license can be suspended for two speeding tickets, depending on the speed.

Answer 2

You say the fist offense was 3-24-05 and the forth was 3-22-06. In the next sentence you say the last 2 were in 2007. ONE of those statement has to be false. You later state the last offense was 19 months ago. That would be March 2006. Using that date, all for offenses WERE within 12 months. Either you are LYING, or you have no idea what you are saying. In either case, if I were you, I would avoid drawing ANY attention to myself.

Answer 3

You were ultimately convicted of three offenses that occurred within a 12 month period. It's not that hard to understand. They couldn't suspend your license until the third conviction hit the books... which you said happened in 2007.

Suck it up. You knew the law when you were committing the offenses, and now you're looking for some loophole to save you from the consequences. Man-up, for cryin' out loud!

Answer 4

Michigan isn't between the 'compact states' and that i've got not got self belief they're going to notify Arkansas of something. All yet in uncomplicated terms a pair states cooperate so human beings won't be able to circumvent their household projects, yet Michigan isn't one among them. i'm no longer from the two state, so i'd desire to be incorrect, yet this is my assumption.

Answer 5

Document the dates of the offenses and file a relief from the judgment citing that the offenses where not committed in three year period and request for the reversal of the decision.

Answer 6

I agree with Steven F. Things don't add up in your story. I'm sure the judge will be able to sort it out. Maybe he'll be so good at it, he'll add a few years to the suspension. Everyone's a victim today, no one wants to take responsibility and you're another. Poor baby.

Answer 7

Why don't you spend your time, effort, and money on a driving class? You obviously have no respect for the laws of your state and are putting everyone on the road with you in danger when you decide to drive.

Answer 8

Yes complain and once you have done that do something about your bad driving habits. Very obviously you are not a safe driver and endanger not just your life but that of everyone else.

Answer 9

Unfortunately, you will need to hire an attorney and have a hearing with your state's license agency.

Answer 10

you can try to fight it but you will most likly lose
