Driver’s Education designed with you in mind

That is why it is so important for parents to get involved at this initial stage to ensure proper and thorough education to help set ground rules and instill good driving habits, as their teen takes on the responsibility of operating a motor vehicle.

If you survived, then give yourself a pat on the back: you just earned your Downers Grove Illinois learner's permit, which is valid for 2 years.  After you've had your Downers Grove Illinois learner's permit for 9 months, you can apply for your Downers Grove Illinois driver's license.

Downers Grove Illinois Teen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties

Downers Grove Illinois Auto Insurance Downers Grove Illinois Financial Responsibility Laws

Once you receive your Downers Grove Illinois driver's license, you're ready to drive, right? Not quite: traffic accidents--minor and major--can happen to even the most seasoned drivers.

  • $20,000 for personal injury
  • $40,000 per person
  • $15,000 for property damage.

If you are ever caught driving without Downers Grove Illinois mandatory liability insurance, you could be fined $500 for a first time offense. For subsequent offenses, you will receive a four month vehicle registration suspension. And, if you're involved in an accident and cannot provide proof of insurance, your Downers Grove Illinois learner's permit or Downers Grove Illinois provisional license could be suspended. Do NOT get on Downers Grove Illinois roads in an uninsured vehicle!

Downers Grove Illinois Drunk Driving, Cell Phone, and Text Messaging Laws

As you're probably aware, a drunk and/or distracted driver is a dangerous driver. As a new Downers Grove Illinois driver, it's vital that you learn the Downers Grove Illinois drunk driving, cell phone, and text messaging laws.

  • Downers Grove Illinois license suspension of at least 1 year
  • Breath alcohol ignition interlock device installation
  • Up to a $2500 fine
  • Community service--100 hour minimum (if BAC above 0.16)

Currently, Downers Grove Illinois prohibits texting while driving, and fines begin at $75. You are also prohibited from using cell phones while driving through school zones. In all other instances, be VERY careful while using your cell phone, even if it's within the rules.
