I was pulled over for expired license plates it had been 10 days since it had expired and I now have: The ticket is $160 and I'm trying not to have to be required to pay for that ticket
Ted’s answer: Renew your sticker. Put on your plate. Take a photo. Bring it to court. Ticket will be dropped. It's called late compliance
How can I avoid admitting liability in a civil case if I plead guilty for driving w/o insurance?: My insurance policy lapsed due to my own oversight. I was in an accident and Unit 2 driver. ISP could not determine the at fault drive because Unit 1 driver lied to the officer. I was issued a ticket due to lack of insurance ONLY. I was insured the very next day. Since you cannot plead no contest in IL for traffic cases, I am worried that if I plead guilty to the no insurance ticket, that it can be construed as admitting fault or liability in a civil case.
Ted’s answer:
If you are convicted, you would normally face a three month suspension. But since you are showing late compliance (got the insurance later) you can receive court supervision which is not a conviction. However, be prepared to carry SR 22 for three years.
A conviction or supervision requires a guilty plea. Here is the problem. the other guy's ins co may pay his damages and then report you to DOT for being involved in an no insurance accident where you are at fault. DOT may decide you are at fault because of your guilty plea.
Then you would have a right to contest the suspension with the SOS. Your guilty plea could cause you to lose. If you lose, your license will be suspended until you pay whatever the other driver's insurance paid, or enter into a payment plan or file bankruptcy. Otherwise you could be suspended for 5 years.
You need a lawyer in the county of the ticket.
My license is revolt in Wisconsin, but I live in Illinois. Occupation license to drive in Illinois: My license is revoked in Wisconsin I live in Illinois and I’m trying to get some license to drive my job which is CTA keep the job we need a license
Ted’s answer: it is treated the same as a DUI conviction in Illinois. Illinois evaluation, complete classes, hearing with the Secretary of State. It will not be legal for at least 6 months and maybe longer
