DUI: You drove under the influence of alcohol, other drugs and/or intoxicating compounds.

A FELONY OFFENSE: A vehicle was used while you committed a serious crime.

LEAVING THE SCENE: You left the scene of a crash that killed or injured someone. (Minimum three-year revocation under Illinois driving law)

PERJURY: You gave false information to the Secretary of State.

RECKLESS DRIVING: You were convicted of three reckless driving offenses of Illinois driving law in 12 months.

DRAG RACING: You illegally raced with another vehicle.

RECKLESS CONDUCT: Your reckless behavior involving a vehicle resulted in injury or danger to another person.

AUTO THEFT: You stole a motor vehicle or motor vehicle parts.

AGGRAVATED FLEEING THE POLICE: You drove away from the police when you were directed to stop.

In accordance with Illinois driving law, the Secretary of State's office has the authority to revoke the driver's license of a repeat traffic offender. During the course of any revocation, your vehicle registration may be suspended. Notice is given accordingly.
