I got a speeding ticket in chicago gotta go to court how much money am i gonna waste????

I have both "arrested DUI/dropped to reckless" and "arrested DUI/charged DUI" where does that leave me when reinstating my lic.?

Asked by a user in Tampa, FL - over 2 years ago.

When the 2005 DUI was reduced to a reckless, it would not count as a DUI conviction. The Secretary of State still keeps track of the 2005 arrest, however, your 2007 DUI is the only DUI that should be recognized as a conviction. You will need to check with your state regarding the requirements to reinstate your license and I recommend that you retain an attorney to assist you in the process.
