In Illinois, your driver’s license can be suspended or revoked in response to a wide variety of criminal and traffic offenses regardless of your age, but if you are convicted of an offense when you are under the age of 21, the penalties can be especially severe. Not only is the threshold for an offense often lower for minor drivers, the length of a suspension or revocation is also often greater. If you have been charged with an offense before your 21st birthday, an experienced criminal defense attorney can help you understand the likelihood of your license being taken away, and help you follow the necessary steps to have the best chance of a timely reinstatement.
Suspensions and Revocations for Illinois Drivers Under 21
One of the most common reasons for a driver’s license revocation is a conviction for driving under the influence (DUI). If you are convicted of DUI while you are under the age of 21, your license can be revoked for at least two years, which is double the length for a driver older than 21. In order to have your license reinstated, you will have to take a remedial driver’s education class, and you may have to take and pass a new driver’s license examination.
