Illinois does have a point system. If you get convicted of three offenses within a year (two offenses if you are under 21) then your license will be suspended. The length of the suspension will be based upon how many points you have accumulated from those three tickets.
If you get too many points on your license, your driving privileges will be suspended and you will not be able to drive.
If your CDL gets suspended you should contact an attorney to help vacate the suspension and fight the ticket in order to reinstate your CDL license.
It will always be a better decision not to just pay a ticket. If you do not fight your ticket, you will receive a conviction on your record. A conviction will permanently be on your record and can lead to higher insurance premiums and a license suspension.
