A few months ago, I was stopped by the IL State Police, and I received a ticket. I need to go to court to obtain my drivers license back [not that I didn't go the DMV office, that day, and get a new one]. Nonetheless, I want to get it cleared up however; I've washed my ticket. Is there a website or helpful phone number to call - to either pay it or find my court date. Moreover, the ticket was issued in the Chicago district. Thanks for help!

These are enough to get my driver's license renewal denied, not to mention the insurance surcharges, so I'm hoping to beat as many as I can. Other than the classic 'cops not showing up for court,' what can I hope for? [more inside]

He'll be entering a US university as an undergrad this autumn, for which he'll convert his visa to a student visa.
