As far as I know, Illinois doesn't use a "points" system.
I've lived here all my life, worked for an insurance company for 8 years, my dad was a police officer as is my brother-in-law. So, I think I would have heard about them if we did.
I think the process here is simple... if you have a moving violation, it goes on your "record" that insurance companies can see and it stays there for a few years. It is possible to keep things from hitting your record with court supervision and behaving yourself for a while. If you get 3 violations on your record within a rolling 12 months (or is it longer now?) you lose your license. I may be a little fuzzy on that though since it has been 10 years or more since I have had a speeding ticket, and I've never had more than 1 on my record at a time.
