I know we have a few folks from IL here. I was wondering what your experience was with ensuring that a moving violation does not affect your insurance rates.
I got a ticket recently for improper left turn (my own stupidity!). Since this is my first ticket in a very long time, I am eligible for court supervision. If I understand it correctly, if I pay the fine and don't get another ticket during the following 90 days, the conviction is dismissed and no points are assessed on my license; therefore, no insurance rate hikes.
But am I also required to do the silly traffic school? Some websites seem to think so and some of my friends do, too. However, when I called the circuit court, they said no, although their lawyer speak was somewhat confusing to me. Anyone know for sure?
This is DuPage county, if that matters.
