Simple question: If I get a speeding ticket in a state other than the one in which I live, will that conviction be shared with the state in which I live and then count toward the number of allowable tickets within a given timeframe before license suspension?
I actually did not have any convictions on my record before this, but I got two tickets on the way to a friend's house in Iowa - one in IL, one in IA - so I want to make sure that I only have one conviction in IL and not two. Unfortunately, traffic school isn't an option because I've had supervision in the past 12 months.
To make this into a discussion thread, how many speeding tickets have you gotten? Do you drive the speed limit? Five over? Ten over? Do you have a lead foot?
My driving habits depend on where I am. In residential areas, I tend to drive the speed limit. On major streets, I'll typically go 5 over if there's no traffic. In the case of my trip to Iowa, I was going 15 over (80 in a 65) on a well-paved, rural highway with little traffic. I guess that's what I get for taking my Chicago driving habits - where 15 over on the expressway is pretty much the norm - to rural IL and IA
