Talk with a lawyer and see if you can get a deferral. If you can get one, you'll have to behave yourself on the road for a while.

In Indiana, we've got a deferral program. You can have your ticket deferred, but you have to behave yourself behind the wheel for a set period of time. If you don't get anymore tickets in that time frame, then the points from the violation will not show up on your license. The ticket still has to be paid, but it saves you much more in terms of auto insurance.

Do supervision. I have done it a couple of times. Still lost my license in the long run because I couldn't behave myself though. Talk to the states attorney about getting supervision. Explain your situation about having to drive to school. They might help you out. Also if you do lose your license I think you can get a permit for driving to work or maybe school. I think they just set like certain hours you can drive or something. Talk to the States attorney though. I did supervision a couple of times and never had to use a lawyer. It will cost more for the ticket but it will not go on your record. Hope this helps.

i got around my suspension by getting a license in another state before suspesion took place, and the only reason i paid to the fines and get the suspension and speeding tickects removed when i came back is because the job needed a instate DL for there employees.
thanks that makes me fee lalot better knowing that it can work. me and my dad are going to talk to an attorney either monday or tuesday through his work and get things figured out. i'll ost up when i find more out. thanks for all the replies. some of em were good for a laugh and i needed that haha

where do you have to go to court?
My lawyer got me out of a jam really cheap, Drag racing,wreckless driving, 110 in a 45, improper lane change, etc etc etc- they threw thebook at me.
He knows all the judges in the Downers Grove courthouse, and im sure many others- he used to be a state prosecutor.
Give him a call: Nicholas C. Kirkeles (630) 261-0250
he works out of oakbrook.

Damn UTI Kids....
J/k i use to be one myself and got hit in my IROC by some jackass that lived in Wisconsin.... My Attorney is Michael Konewko 630-231-5500 he works out of west chicago. He got by buddy out of drunk driving charges.....because My buddy stopped on railroad tracks and since thats private property the railroads have to press charges not the city or town.
