Losing Your License, Getting It Back

Courtney & Molter: Milwaukee Speeding Violation Attorneys

In Wisconsin, if you exceed the speed limit by 25 mph or more in a zone of 55 mph or higher, you will face a mandatory 15-day driver's license suspension, and you cannot obtain an occupational license during this period. Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Mandatory Suspension:

• If an individual is convicted of exceeding the speed limit by 25 miles per hour or more in a zone where the speed limit is 55 miles per hour or higher, the court is obligated to suspend the individual's license for 15 days.
• No Occupational License:
  • During the 15-day suspension, you are not eligible for an occupational driver's license.

• Reinstatement:
  • After the suspension, you must comply with Wisconsin DMV reinstatement procedures to terminate the suspension.

• Further Suspensions:
  • Courts have the authority to suspend or revoke a license for up to one year for traffic violations, including speeding, if they find the circumstances are aggravated or dangerous.

• Point System:
  • Wisconsin uses a demerit point system for traffic violations, and accumulating 12 or more points within a 12-month period can lead to license suspension.

• Point Reduction:
  • You can reduce your point total by three points for attending an approved traffic safety course.

• Administrative Hearing:
  • You can request an administrative hearing to contest your license suspension.

• Driving on Suspended License:
  • Driving on a suspended license can result in fines and potential additional charges.
