Illinois Graduated Driver Licensing Program
Illinois uses a three-stage GDL program for drivers under 21. It begins at age 15 with an instruction permit, which requires supervised driving, including 50 practice hours (10 at night) over nine months. This phase has strict passenger limits and prohibits all cell phone use.
At age 16, drivers can progress to the initial license phase, allowing unsupervised driving but maintaining passenger and nighttime restrictions. Full, unrestricted privileges are granted at age 18 after maintaining a clean driving record for six months.
