Will my Illinois License be suspended? Out of state Wet Reckless.:
I was arrested for DUI this past April in California. I hired a DUI lawyer and was able to have the charge reduced to Wet Reckless. My California lawyer just advised me that we won our DMV case (separate from criminal) so I will not have my license suspended in California and not have to deal with SR22 insurance or classes.
Now it's time for me to deal with the repercussions at home. Will Illinois treat this as a DUI or reckless driving charge? Does the wet description change how Illinois will respond?
For reference, I did not refuse a breathalyzer and my BAC was recorded at .09.
Thank you in advance.
Ted’s answer: Wet reckless and victory on the DMV suspension will not cause an automatic suspension or revocation in Illinois. The only way you would be suspended is if the wet reckless points plus any other points you have accumulated in the past for driving infraction convictions that appear on your IL record (for eg speeding convictions ) would lead to a "bad driver" suspension that is based up a complicated formula that depends on your prior record, if any, your age etc.
Hey , how do I see how long my license is suspended for ?: I had got a speeding ticket
Ted’s answer: We would have to know the charge, would have to know your previous record of driving infractions prior to this and have to know the disposition of the current ticket.
When can I find out if I’m getting a ticket: School bus was facing a dead end on shared parking lot and I went in and I stopped about 7 yards for about 3 seconds and I made a left turn since I couldn’t go left and slow made my way to a adjacent building no closer than 10 yards from the bus and when I looked back bus was directly behind me about 15 yards away did I commit a crime
Ted’s answer: It is impossible to figure out what happened from your description. Unless there was a cop around, the bus driver would have to have gotten your plates and reported it. Then he would have to identify you as the driver. No way of knowing if or when you would get a ticket.
