So what can I do? The state has laws about what has to happen for her to lose her license. From what I can see, she's still in the clear on that count. So what exactly do you suggest I do? Call the police and ask them to make an exception for my ex and revoke her license with only 8 points in two years? :roll: I will ask her for proof of insurance periodically, but beyond that, I don't see any options.

I picked up 12 in one year back in my college days, and my insurance dropped me like a bad habit, even though I hadn't had anything before on my record.
(Knocking on wood) 0 points now, one prayer for judgementfrom a couple years ago...Asshat caught me doing 48 in a 35 mph zone...Roads completely empty and college was not in session yet it was city limits. I was completely nice and everything and thought he would let me off with a warning since I had a clean record....Guess I know now that city cops are officially useless now except as revenue generators.

Ehhh she'll be ok... she'll just have to pay a boatload for insurance...

ANYONE is capable of getting speeding tickets... it's a matter of being lucky enough not to get caught. Now if this woman got tickets for say 75 in a 45... or worse.. then yeah... you have a problem. But I think we can all agree that the speeding laws in this country are more about raising state revenues than they are about looking out for people's safety.

You people are stupid. It all depend son the situation. I have had 5 speeding tickets in 5 years, and I speed like 90% of the time (10mph+). I have never been in a wreck or ran over anyone. If a cop has a speed trap set up, you are getting a ticket reguardless of how fast you are going.
Maybe she just has a string of bad luck.
You'd really have to know the circumstances involved here... some construction zones aren't really construction zones... and how much over the speed limit are we talking here? As for the red light running... sh!t happens... I'm not convinced that this person is an awful driver based on those tickets.
I am however suspicious of your motives, as this looks like a classic custody battle here. Which means you're probably kind hoping she loses insurance as it gives you a one-up in this dirty war you and your ex are probably fighting.

What is he going to "turn her in" for? By virtue of the fact she got the tickets, the state is obviously already aware of her driving record.
What you can do if you choose is bring this matter to the attention of whatever court granted your divorce/child custody decree, and ask the judge to modify the parenting plan to prevent her from driving the kids around. Obviously, if the court ordered this, it would create enormous, costly logistical issues for both of you, however.
I'm not surprised people here are so incensed, but in my observation the posters here tend to be very judgmental when anyone does anything wrong. I think it's appropriate to be concerned about this, however, and I would certainly discuss it with your ex, and ask her to exercise greater care when the kids are in the car.
This record sounds bad, but sometimes these things come in waves, and IMO the record alone doesn't necessarily denote a terrible driver. There are plenty of awful drivers out there (my mother comes to mind) who seldom speed or get tickets, but pose a heightened danger to themselves and other drivers due to a simple skill deficit.

5 tickets in 5 years is fine. What we are complaining about is 4 in ONE year. one for speeding in a construction zone, one in a school zone and one for blowing a red light!
there is a difference between bad luck and a bad driver.
As someone else said. IN IL 3 tickets in a years time you lose the license. This women really needs to lose it. Heck i would not let her drive MY kids around.
No, I'm not trying for any change to the parenting plan at this point. Hell, she's already giving up parenting time voluntarily, on her own accord.
As I said above, it wouldn't break my heart to have her pay out the ass for car insurance, but I in no way want her to lose her license or not be able to get insurance, as this would put a much bigger burden on me to get the kids to & from her place, etc. Plus plenty of other problems. But of course, I am concerned for the kids' safety. The individual incidents themselves don't bother me as much as the overall change in behavior they may indicate.
Maybe. As I said before, she hadn't had a ticket in at least 8 years previously.
Is it legal/possible for me to get a copy of her driving record?
"How do I get a copy of someone else's driving record?
Due to the Privacy Law you as an individual cannot receive a copy of someone else's driving record without that persons written permission. If you are an employer or there is a court case pending you can read over our Requestor Release and Affidavit of Intended Use form (DR2489) to see if you meet any of the listed criteria to request the record. If you meet the criteria you can print the form fill it out and send it in with the fee which is $2.20 for a copy of the motor vehicle record or $2.70 to have it certified "

I read the first post smart guy... and if you read my posts, you'd see where I argue that that information really tells us nothing about her ability as a driver. IMHO Illinois must be on crack... 3 tickets in one year and you lose your license?... WOW... I hope public transit there is really good, or you're going to have alot of people either (a) losing their jobs, or (b) driving unlicensed.
Any tard from america can tell you how essential driving is in todays economy. And any tard can tell you how easy it is to get unlucky and get 3 tickets.
If you're going to get Nazi on the enforcement of traffic laws, then you better make the speed lmits around the actual speed you expect people to drive.
An example of what I'm talking about... in DC we've got all these handy dandy speeding cameras set up wherever... and they're configured on nazi enforcement style... I.E. if you're driv ing 2MPH over the limit... you're getting a fine. I just got one myself for driving 49 in a 45 zone. If this were Illinois think of how easy it would be to rack up a quick 3 of these?...
Somehow people in this country think that we have a traffic death issues... when in reality we probably have one of the lowest traffic fatality rate per driver rate in the entire world. Furthermore the real traffic issue at hand is drinking and driving, not driving and speeding. All this super-enforcement is not about public safety, it's about state governments trying to supliment tax income. Period.
