Out of state DUI, I'm have a Illinois license and received a DUI in Minnesota

Anonymous Jul 11, 2012 4 views 2 answers

While attening college in Minnesota, I got a DUI in Feb of 2011. My license was suspended in MN for 3 months. I went to court and received a conviction and paid $500 in fines, I had to take the alcohol and drug evaluation and complete a DUI 5 hr course. After that I paid $800 to reinstate my drivers license. Sooo I thought I was done!!! I moved back to IL after graduating in May 2011. Illinois revoked my drivers license on June 2011 for 1 year. I understand they had to revoke my license... but question is... I was eligible to reinstate my license on June 2012, I went into a hearing officer to get it done and he told me I have to take the alcohol and drug evaluation again from Illinois and take another DUI course in IL. Why do I have to do this again???? I already did it in Minnesota!!

Because you violated your Il drivers license that's why. The evaluator in IL cannot waive the ten hour course but may waive some or all of the treatment based on what you did in MN. Or not. It is up to the evaluator. I tell college students who like yo party to surrender their IL license when they go away to college. This is why.

Your license is revoked. It is not like a suspension for a specified time period. You have to do this because the Secretary of State is totally in charge of you ever getting a license again.
