Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Increases the requirements that must be met before a minor may be issued a graduated driver's license. Provides that a minor must hold an instruction permit for 12 consecutive (rather than for 3) months before he or she may be issued a graduated driver's license. Provides that the minor must have 150 (rather than 50) hours of driving experience, and the experience must be validated in writing by one of his or her parents, before he or she may be issued the graduated license. Provides that the new requirements do not invalidate a graduated license issued before the effective date of the amendatory Act. Provides that a person must have reached the age of 15 years in order to apply for an instruction permit. Provides that the minor may not drive at night during the first 6 months that he or she holds an instruction permit. Provides that the minor holder of an instruction permit may practice driving only when one of his or her parents, his or her legal guardian, or a person over the age of 21 years and having at least 5 years of consecutive driving experience, approved in writing by the minor's parents, is seated next to the minor. Provides that a minor who violates any of these provisions, a licensed adult who allows a minor to violate any of these provisions, or a parent, legal guardian, or approved driver who allows a minor to drive with an unapproved person is subject to a fine of $1,500 and a 3 month suspension of his or her driving privileges. Provides that if a parent or guardian falsely states the minor's driving experience, the parent is subject to the fine and the license suspension, and the minor's previous hours of driving experience shall be nullified.
