Illinois DMV Point System

Illinois assigns points on your driver's record for many types of traffic violations. Depending on the number of points or convictions you receive in a 12-month period, your driver's license could be suspended. Your insurance company can also raise your rates.

At the Law Office of Christopher M. Cosley, we can often negotiate a reduction to an offense that would result in fewer points on your record or convince the court to place you under court supervision, which could result in the ticket being dismissed. To schedule a free consultation to discuss your case, contact Rolling Meadows speeding ticket defense lawyer Christopher M. Cosley today.

Points for Speeding Tickets in Illinois

Illinois assesses points for many types of traffic violations. The following are examples:

If you have three convictions for traffic violations within a 12-month period, your driver's license can be suspended for a period of time. The following are suspension periods for a driver who has not had his or her license suspended or revoked for the past seven years:

• 0 to 14 points ― no action
• 15 to 44 points ― 2-month suspension
• 45 to 74 points ― 3-month suspension
• 75 to 89 points ― 6-month suspension
• 90 to 99 points ― 9-month suspension
• 100 or more points ― 12-month suspension

You may be imprisoned for driving with a suspended license.
