Two out-of-state speeding tickets in a 12 months (Illinois Law)?

Question

First, please refrain from negative comments telling me how irresponsible and whatnot that I am. I know. Lets move past that...

I am 20 years old and a resident of Illinois. I received a speeding ticket earlier this year in Alabama for going 90 mph in a 70. I received a second one yesterday in Iowa, also for going 90 in a 70.

After I received my first ticket, I got a letter in the mail saying if I got another one my license would be suspended. Are there any alternatives at this point to avoid my suspension. Is there anything I can do to get the 2nd violation off my record?

Answer 1

You will be suspended - you get two convictions in 24 months.

In your case, since you mention no option for traffic school - like we have in Illinois - I would contact an attorney and ask this question.  Please read all the documents you received from the officer to make sure you do not have any other options.

Answer 2

No... Be a man and take the punishment! Obviously you didn't learn the first time.
