License revoked in Illinois with Level 3 Non-dependent

There are several risk level classifications of DUI based evaluations in Illinois. When a person is sentenced to a DUI in the State of Illinois, the judge in court will order the defendant to obtain one of five risk classifications which are as follows…

Level one – minimal risk
Level two – moderate risk
Level two – significant risk
Level three – non-dependent
Level three – dependent

In order to have a license reinstatement hearing in Illinois a petitioner can be any one of the above risk classifications with one DUI, except level three non-dependent. Why? In order to be a level three non-dependent risk classification the petitioner must have three separate DUI charges on his driving record. If you want to get yourlicense back in Illinois and you have been classified as a level 3 non-dependent by your evaluator, you better have three DUI arrests in your past or you won't be able to get in the door to a hearing with the Secretary of State.
