Teen Driving in Illinois

Illinois uses a Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) system, which is separated into three phases. The first phase begins at age15. That is when a teen, with parent’s permission, obtains a driver’s permit, and enrolls in a driver’s education course. The first phase lasts for nine months, and the teen must pass the driver’s education course, and not receive any driving convictions to advance to the next phase.

The second phase is the initial license phase, and usually begins at ages 16 to 17. A teen must complete 50 hours of driving with parent’s permission, and must maintain a conviction-free driving record for six months prior to his or her 18^th birthday in order move on to the third and final phase. The last phase of the GDL system is the full license phase at ages 18 to 20.

Within each phase of the GDL system, teen drivers need to maintain a clean driving record. If a teen driver receives a conviction for a moving violation in the second or third phase, the length of time in their current phase is extended. Also, if they receive convictions for two or more moving violations, their driving privileges will be suspended. They will also be required to take a remedial driver education course, and they will have to pay a $70 reinstatement fee.

The Illinois Secretary of State takes moving violations committed by teen drivers seriously. If you are a teen driver, and have received a ticket for a moving violation, you need to speak with an experienced traffic violation lawyer before you go to court.
