1. Under the Illinois Graduated Driver Licensing program, how long must you hold your instruction permit before you can be issued a driver's license at age 16?
- A 3 months
- B 6 months
- C At least 9 months
- D 12 months
Correct answer: C. Illinois law requires drivers under 18 to hold a valid instruction permit for at least 9 months before a graduated license can be issued. The long practice window builds supervised experience. Hook: nine months on the permit, like a school year.
2. Before you can get your first driver's license at 16 in Illinois, how many hours of supervised behind-the-wheel practice must a parent or guardian certify?
- A 30 hours, including 5 at night
- B 50 hours, including at least 10 at night
- C 60 hours, all during daylight
- D 25 hours, including 10 at night
Correct answer: B. A parent, guardian, or responsible adult must certify 50 hours of practice driving, at least 10 of them at night, before Illinois issues a graduated license. Night practice matters because darkness raises crash risk. Hook: fifty total, ten after dark.
3. You are 17 and hold an Illinois graduated license. On Sunday through Thursday nights, at what time does your license become invalid for driving, with limited exceptions?
- A 9:00 p.m.
- B 10:00 p.m.
- C 11:00 p.m.
- D Midnight
Correct answer: B. For drivers under 18, an Illinois permit or license is invalid Sunday through Thursday from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Hook: school nights end at ten.
4. During your first 12 months with an Illinois graduated license, or until you turn 18, how many passengers under age 20 who are not your family members may ride with you?
- A Only one
- B Two
- C Three
- D Any number, if everyone wears a seat belt
Correct answer: A. For the first 12 months of licensure or until age 18, Illinois allows just one passenger under 20 unless the extra riders are your siblings, step-siblings, children, or stepchildren. Young passengers multiply distraction. Hook: first year, one young friend.
5. You paid the fee for an Illinois driver's license application but failed the written exam on your first try. How many total test attempts does that one fee cover?
- A One; every retake costs extra
- B Two attempts within six months
- C Three attempts within one year of the first try
- D Unlimited attempts for as long as you like
Correct answer: C. In Illinois, the license fee entitles you to three attempts to pass the written and/or road tests within one year of your first attempt. After that you must reapply and pay again. Hook: one fee, three swings, one year.
6. An applicant is caught using hidden notes during the Illinois written exam. Besides automatically failing that test, how long must the applicant wait before retaking it?
- A No wait; a retest is allowed the same day
- B 7 days
- C 14 days
- D 30 days
Correct answer: D. Illinois treats any unauthorized help, such as notes, books, or answers fed from another person or device, as cheating. The test is failed automatically and retesting is barred for 30 days. Hook: cheat once, park your plans for a month.
7. You are 16, hold an Illinois instruction permit, and are convicted of a moving violation such as speeding. How does that conviction affect your graduated driver's license?
- A Nothing changes once you pay the fine
- B No license can be issued to you for 9 months
- C Your permit is canceled permanently
- D You only owe a small reinstatement fee
Correct answer: B. Illinois will not issue a graduated license for 9 months to an under-18 applicant convicted of a moving violation. A clean driving record is part of earning the license. Hook: one ticket can restart your nine-month clock.
8. On a school day in Illinois, children are present near a posted school zone. What is the maximum speed you may drive while passing it?
- A 20 mph
- B 25 mph
- C 15 mph
- D 30 mph
Correct answer: A. Illinois caps speed at 20 mph in posted school zones on school days when children are present and close enough to be at risk. The slower speed buys stopping distance around kids. Hook: two-zero around the schoolyard.
9. For Illinois school zone speed limits, which hours does state law define as the school day?
- A 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
- B 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
- C Sunrise to sunset
- D 6:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Correct answer: D. Illinois law defines the school day for 20-mph school zones as 6:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Early buses and after-school pickups put kids near the street well beyond class hours. Hook: six-thirty to four covers the whole school flow.
10. Unless a different limit is posted, what is the maximum speed for driving through an alley in an Illinois urban district?
- A 10 mph
- B 20 mph
- C 15 mph
- D 25 mph
Correct answer: C. Illinois sets the alley limit in urban districts at 15 mph, half the 30-mph default for other urban streets. Alleys are narrow, with blind exits and walkers stepping out. Hook: fifteen in the alley, thirty on the street.
11. You are stopped in Illinois, and testing finds any amount of an unlawfully used controlled substance in your system, though you do not appear impaired. What does Illinois law say?
- A You have committed DUI
- B It is legal if you feel sober
- C Only a written warning applies
- D It only counts above a set limit like alcohol
Correct answer: A. Under Illinois law, driving with any amount of an unlawfully consumed controlled substance in your blood, urine, or breath is DUI, with no proof of impairment needed. Illegal drugs get zero allowance. Hook: for street drugs, any trace equals DUI.
12. You are under 21 and driving in Illinois. An officer with probable cause to believe you drank alcohol asks you to take a breath test. What can happen if you refuse?
- A Nothing, if you were driving smoothly
- B Only a small cash fine
- C The test simply gets rescheduled
- D You can lose your driving privileges
Correct answer: D. By driving in Illinois, drivers under 21 are deemed to have consented to alcohol testing when an officer has probable cause; refusing, or testing above 0.00, can cost your driving privileges. Hook: under 21, refusal alone can park you.
13. You see an Illinois State Police car stopped on the shoulder ahead with its lights flashing. Under Illinois's Move Over Law, known as Scott's Law, what must you do on a four-lane road?
- A Stop completely behind the squad car
- B Change into a lane away from it if safe, and slow down
- C Honk and keep your speed
- D Turn on your high beams so the officer sees you
Correct answer: B. Scott's Law requires Illinois drivers approaching a stationary emergency vehicle with flashing lights to change lanes away when safe, or slow down with due caution if not. Fines run $250 to $10,000 for a first offense. Hook: flashing lights, give a lane.
14. A school bus stops on a two-lane Illinois road with its stop arm out and red lights flashing while you approach from the opposite direction. What must you do?
- A Slow to 20 mph and pass carefully
- B Pass only if no children are visible
- C Stop before reaching the bus and wait until the signals stop or the bus moves
- D Honk, then roll past at walking speed
Correct answer: C. On Illinois roads, traffic in both directions must stop for a school bus loading or unloading with its signals active; only on highways of four or more lanes may opposite-direction traffic continue. Hook: two lanes means everybody stops.
15. When is wireless/cellphone use while driving, including a hands-free device, prohibited for an Illinois driver under age 19?
- A Any wireless/cellphone use while driving, including a hands-free device, is prohibited for a driver under age 19, except in the case of an emergency to contact a law enforcement agency, health care provider, or emergency services agency
- B Whenever you use a speaker setting
- C Only while stopped at red lights
- D Any time after six months of driving
Correct answer: A. The Illinois Rules of the Road says any wireless/cellphone use while driving, including a hands-free device, is prohibited for a driver under age 19, except in the case of an emergency to contact a law enforcement agency, health care provider, or emergency services agency.
16. Where can oral examinations for the Illinois written test be requested?
- A Oral examinations (for the written test) can be requested in person at any Secretary of State driver’s license facility, Monday through Thursday
- B The Federal Highway Administration
- C The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
- D The US Department of Education
Correct answer: A. The Illinois Rules of the Road says oral examinations (for the written test) can be requested in person at any Secretary of State driver’s license facility, Monday through Thursday. The Secretary of State’s office administers Illinois driver licensing exams.
17. What does the Illinois Secretary of State call the official guide to Illinois traffic laws?
- A The Rules of the Road is your essential guide to Illinois traffic laws and safe driving practices
- B A random social-media reel with no date
- C A forum post from 2014
- D Any paid app’s splash screen
Correct answer: A. The Illinois Rules of the Road 2026 says the Rules of the Road is your essential guide to Illinois traffic laws and safe driving practices. Practice sites can be wrong; the official SOS handbook wins.
18. What does Illinois’ Graduated Driver Licensing Program require of drivers ages 15-20?
- A Illinois’ Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) Program requires drivers ages 15-20 to work their way toward full-driving privileges
- B A national driving school franchise writes the Illinois GDL hours
- C Wikipedia editors set Illinois night limits
- D Your insurance agent’s blog is the source
Correct answer: A. The Illinois Rules of the Road says Illinois’ Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) Program requires drivers ages 15-20 to work their way toward full-driving privileges. There are three progressive stages, usually beginning at age 15.
19. What written test does the Illinois Rules of the Road say you must pass to obtain basic driving privileges?
- A The booklet contains information you must know to pass the written test on traffic laws and signs to obtain basic driving privileges
- B The federal interstate qualifying exam
- C The commercial learner permit skills pad
- D The motorcycle only road course
Correct answer: A. The Illinois Rules of the Road says the booklet contains information you must know to pass the written test on traffic laws and signs to obtain basic driving privileges. Informal names like permit test point at that written exam.
20. Where is the official Illinois driver handbook published?
- A By the Illinois Secretary of State (SOS) at its official handbook URL
- B Only as a paid paperback with no public copy
- C Exclusively inside a third-party app store listing
- D It is not published; testers invent questions
Correct answer: A. The SOS publishes the Illinois handbook for free. That book is the source the knowledge test is written from. Our questions are original study items grounded in those rules, not a substitute for reading the handbook.
21. What is the minimum age to apply for a learner's permit in Illinois?
- A 15 (must be enrolled in an approved driver education course; 17 years, 3 months without driver education)
- B 14
- C 18
- D 21
Correct answer: A. Illinois lets you apply for a learner's permit at 15 (must be enrolled in an approved driver education course; 17 years, 3 months without driver education), according to the SOS. You still have to pass the knowledge and vision screens and meet any parent-consent rules. Age opens the door; it does not skip the test.
22. An applicant for a Class D license will be required to take a written test consisting of a minimum of how many questions?
- A 35
- B 10
- C 100
- D 5
Correct answer: A. An applicant for a Class D license will be required to take a written test consisting of a minimum of 35 questions, of which 80% percent must be answered correctly in order to be eligible for a Class D license. Testers invent leftover Illinois ten-question courtesy.
23. What official Class D written-test bar does Illinois publish?
- A a written test consisting of a minimum of 35 questions, of which 80% percent must be answered correctly
- B 1 question and no percent bar
- C 100 questions with a 40% bar
- D 5 questions with a 99% bar
Correct answer: A. An applicant for a Class D license will be required to take a written test consisting of a minimum of 35 questions, of which 80% percent must be answered correctly in order to be eligible for a Class D license. Testers invent leftover Illinois one-question courtesy.
24. Of the Class D written test questions, what percent must be answered correctly in order to be eligible for a Class D license?
- A 80% percent
- B 50%
- C 40%
- D 99%
Correct answer: A. 80% percent must be answered correctly in order to be eligible for a Class D license. Testers invent leftover Illinois fifty-percent courtesy on the written exam.
25. When is it illegal to drive based on blood-alcohol concentration in Illinois?
- A It is illegal to drive if your BAC is .08% or more
- B 0.12%
- C 0.15%
- D 0.20%
Correct answer: A. The Illinois Rules of the Road says it is illegal to drive if your BAC is .08% or more. You can still be convicted of DUI if your BAC is less than .08% but your driving ability is impaired.
26. What happens if you are under age 21 and found to have any trace of alcohol in your system while operating a motor vehicle in Illinois?
- A If you are under age 21 and found to have any trace of alcohol in your system while operating a motor vehicle, you will have your driving privileges suspended for a minimum of three months
- B 0.08%
- C 0.10%
- D 0.15%
Correct answer: A. The Illinois Rules of the Road says if you are under age 21 and found to have any trace of alcohol in your system while operating a motor vehicle, you will have your driving privileges suspended for a minimum of three months. It is illegal for persons under age 21 to drive with any trace of alcohol or drugs in their systems.
27. Unless a sign posts another limit, the usual residential or city default in Illinois is:
- A 30 mph (urban district default; 15 mph in alleys)
- B 55 mph
- C 70 mph
- D 15 mph unless signed
Correct answer: A. Illinois's typical unposted residential / city default is 30 mph (urban district default; 15 mph in alleys). School zones and work zones drop lower. If houses line the street and no sign argues, start at 30 mph (urban district default; 15 mph in alleys) and watch the next plaque.
28. What is the highest posted highway speed limit in Illinois?
- A 70 mph (interstate highways)
- B 25 mph
- C 15 mph
- D 100 mph
Correct answer: A. Illinois's highest posted highway limit is 70 mph (interstate highways). Most stretches are lower, and work zones or weather can cut it further. Do not assume every freeway in Illinois is signed at the state maximum.
29. How can an Illinois applicant request an oral written-test exam?
- A Oral examinations (for the written test) can be requested in person at any Secretary of State driver’s license facility, Monday through Thursday.
- B Yes, anyone may take it on a phone in bed
- C Yes, but only on social media
- D Yes, and a screenshot of a practice test counts
Correct answer: A. The official Illinois Rules of the Road says Oral examinations (for the written test) can be requested in person at any Secretary of State driver’s license facility, Monday through Thursday. Testers invent leftover home-internet exam paths. In-person at an SOS facility is the official oral path, separate from the instruction-permit fee extra.
30. What fee does the Illinois Rules of the Road list for a Driver’s License/Permit Instruction Permit?
- A Instruction Permit $20
- B There is never a fee in Illinois
- C $2 cash only, no card, nationwide
- D A $400 federal permit surcharge paid to NHTSA
Correct answer: A. The Illinois Rules of the Road fee table lists Driver’s License/Permit Instruction Permit $20. Fees can change; confirm the number at the SOS facility the day you go.
31. On Friday and Saturday nights, when must an Illinois graduated-license holder generally be off the road?
- A 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
- B 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. every night
- C Midnight to 5:00 a.m.
- D There is no weekend curfew
Correct answer: A. Sunday through Thursday the Illinois curfew is 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday it shifts to 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Memorizing only the weeknight window misses the weekend items on the written exam.
32. Of the 50 supervised Illinois practice hours a parent must certify, how many must be at night?
- A At least 10
- B Night hours are optional
- C 25
- D All 50 must be after sunset
Correct answer: A. Illinois wants 50 logged hours and at least 10 of them after dark before a license at 16. A 50-hour daytime-only sheet does not qualify, and the nine-month permit hold still applies on top of the log.
33. Without an approved driver-education course, how old must an Illinois applicant be to get an instruction permit?
- A 17 years and 3 months
- B 15 on the birthday
- C 16 years and 3 months
- D 18 only
Correct answer: A. Illinois opens the permit at 15 only for teens enrolled in approved driver education. Without that course the floor is 17 years and 3 months. Showing up at 15 with no enrollment letter is turned away.
34. After a first failed Illinois written exam, may you attempt it again the same day?
- A An applicant for an Illinois driver's license may be allowed to attempt the written and/or road tests a second time after a failure in the same day during normal business hours of the Driver Services Facility
- B Never; you must wait thirty days for any written retry
- C Only online from home
- D Only if you change offices
Correct answer: A. An applicant for an Illinois driver's license may be allowed to attempt the written and/or road tests a second time after a failure in the same day during normal business hours of the Driver Services Facility. Testers invent leftover Illinois never-same-day courtesy.
35. Which extra under-20 riders may an Illinois graduated licensee carry besides the one-passenger cap during the first 12 months?
- A Siblings, step-siblings, children, or stepchildren
- B Any two classmates
- C Any coworker under 20
- D No extras at all
Correct answer: A. The first 12 months — or until 18 — allow only one passenger under 20 unless the extras are the driver's siblings, step-siblings, children, or stepchildren. A full friend group still violates the cap even if everyone buckles up.
36. How close to a fire hydrant is standing or parking a vehicle prohibited in Illinois?
- A Within 15 feet of a fire hydrant
- B 10 feet for every item
- C 50 feet for every item
- D No listed distances
Correct answer: A. The Illinois Rules of the Road says standing or parking a vehicle, whether occupied or not, is prohibited within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. Separate official bullets list 20 feet of a fire station driveway or crosswalk at an intersection, 30 feet of a STOP sign, YIELD sign, or traffic control signal, and 50 feet of the nearest rail of a railroad crossing.
37. A constantly lit red arrow is showing at an Illinois intersection. After a complete stop and a yield, which turns may the manual still allow?
- A A right turn, or a left from a one-way street onto a one-way street with traffic moving left
- B No turn of any kind until a green arrow appears
- C Any turn at 5 mph
- D A U-turn from any lane
Correct answer: A. Illinois says a constantly lit red arrow generally means you cannot make that movement until a green arrow appears, but it lists two exceptions: a right turn on the red arrow, and a left from one-way to one-way with traffic moving left. Both still require a complete stop and a yield to traffic and pedestrians. That is more permissive than most states’ red-arrow rules.
38. You meet an organized Illinois funeral procession. What must you do?
- A Yield to every vehicle in the line; do not drive between them unless a law-enforcement officer directs you
- B Cut through if your light is green
- C Join the line to get the same right-of-way
- D Pass on the right at any speed
Correct answer: A. Illinois requires motorists to yield the right-of-way to all vehicles in a funeral procession. Do not drive between them except when directed by a law-enforcement officer, do not join the line to steal the right-of-way, and do not pass unless a passing lane is specifically provided. Procession drivers should have headlights and hazard lights on.
39. Your Illinois windshield wipers are operating. What does state law require?
- A Use your headlights
- B Parking lights are enough
- C Wait until after sunset
- D Hazard flashers only
Correct answer: A. Illinois law requires you to use your headlights when operating your windshield wipers. The wipers-on, lights-on rule is how other drivers see you in rain or snow. Parking lights do not satisfy it.
40. How far before a turn must you give a continuous signal in an Illinois business or residential area?
- A At least 100 feet; at least 200 feet in other areas
- B 50 feet everywhere
- C A car length
- D Only after you start the turn
Correct answer: A. Illinois requires a continuous turn signal for at least 100 feet before turning in a business or residential area, and at least 200 feet in other areas. A late signal is how rear-end crashes start in the turn lane.
41. You are on a divided Illinois highway with a median, traveling opposite a stopped school bus with its stop arm out. Must you stop?
- A No. Opposite-direction traffic on a divided highway with a median is not required to stop; two-lane opposite traffic still must stop
- B Yes. Every Illinois road requires a stop from both directions
- C Only trucks must stop
- D Only if the bus driver waves
Correct answer: A. Illinois already requires both directions to stop on a two-lane road. On a divided highway with a median or barrier, traffic coming toward the bus from the opposite roadway does not have to stop. If there is no physical division, treat it like a two-lane road and stop.
42. How close may an Illinois driver come to a pedestrian using a white cane, a mobility device, or a visibly identifiable service animal?
- A Stop before coming closer than 10 feet and take every precaution needed to avoid injury
- B Two feet is enough
- C Pass if your light is green
- D Honk and keep the same speed
Correct answer: A. 625 ILCS 60/15 requires an Illinois driver to stop before approaching closer than 10 feet to a pedestrian with a disability who is using a mobility device, is accompanied by a visibly identifiable service animal, or is carrying or using a white cane. Take all precautions needed to avoid injury. Failure can mean liability for damages.
43. How far from other traffic must an Illinois driver dim headlights?
- A Within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle, and when following less than 300 feet behind
- B 50 feet both ways
- C Never; high beams stay on
- D Only inside Chicago
Correct answer: A. 625 ILCS 5/12-210 requires an Illinois driver to dim or drop headlamps within 500 feet of a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction, and when another vehicle is traveling the same way less than 300 feet ahead. Auxiliary driving lamps must be extinguished in both cases.
44. An Illinois traffic signal is a flashing yellow caution signal. What may you do?
- A Proceed through the intersection or past the signal only with caution
- B Treat it as a stop sign
- C Treat it as a protected green
- D Wait for a circular red first
Correct answer: A. 625 ILCS 5/11-309 says a flashing yellow caution signal lets a driver proceed through the intersection or past the signal only with caution. It is not a stop. Railroad crossings are carved out and follow Section 11-1201 instead.
45. An Illinois traffic signal is a flashing red stop signal. What must you do?
- A Stop at the stop line, crosswalk, or nearest view point, then proceed under the same rules as a stop sign
- B Slow and roll through if no one is coming
- C Wait for a green ball
- D Use it as a left-turn arrow
Correct answer: A. 625 ILCS 5/11-309 treats a flashing red as a stop signal. Stop at the marked line, or before the crosswalk, or at the nearest point with a view, then follow ordinary stop-sign rules. Do not treat the flash as a broken green.
46. An Illinois signal shows a flashing yellow arrow for your movement. What may you do?
- A Cautiously enter only to make the movement the arrow shows, after yielding to vehicles and pedestrians already in the intersection or an adjacent crosswalk
- B Turn immediately; opposing traffic is held
- C Wait for a circular green only
- D Treat it as a steady red arrow
Correct answer: A. 625 ILCS 5/11-306(b-5) lets traffic facing a flashing yellow arrow enter cautiously only for the movement the arrow shows. Yield to other vehicles and pedestrians lawfully in the intersection or an adjacent crosswalk. A steady green arrow is the protected turn.
47. How much space must an Illinois driver leave when passing a bicycle?
- A At least 3 feet
- B A mirror’s width
- C One inch if you honk
- D No extra space in a marked bike lane
Correct answer: A. 625 ILCS 5/11-703 requires an Illinois driver overtaking a bicycle to pass at a safe distance of not less than 3 feet and to stay at that clearance until safely past. Testers mix this with following-distance seconds. Three feet is a pass width, not a time gap.
48. A vehicle ahead of you is stopped at an Illinois marked crosswalk, or an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, to let a pedestrian cross. May you pass it?
- A No; a driver approaching from the rear must not overtake and pass that stopped vehicle
- B Yes, if the next Illinois lane looks empty
- C Yes, after you tap the horn
- D Only outside Chicago
Correct answer: A. Illinois Vehicle Code § 11-1002 says that when any vehicle is stopped at a marked crosswalk or an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection to permit a pedestrian to cross, a driver coming from the rear shall not overtake and pass that stopped vehicle. The stopped car hides the person in the street. In Illinois this is a no-pass rule, not a lane-change tip.
49. When is a U-turn illegal on an Illinois curve or hill even if the road looks empty?
- A When a driver approaching from either direction cannot see your vehicle within 500 feet
- B Only after dark on an Illinois interstate
- C U-turns are always legal if you signal
- D Only inside Chicago
Correct answer: A. 625 ILCS 5/11-802 lets you turn around only when it can be made in safety and without interfering with other traffic. It separately forbids a U-turn on a curve or near the crest of a grade where another driver approaching from either direction cannot see you within 500 feet. Testers try the turn on a blind Illinois crest. If they cannot see you from 500 feet, stay straight.
50. An Illinois light is green, but cars are stopped on the far side of the intersection or a marked crosswalk. What does the Vehicle Code require?
- A Stay out until there is room on the other side for your Illinois vehicle without blocking cars, people, or a train
- B Enter the Illinois box so the sensor keeps the green
- C Nose in and wait; Illinois green always wins
- D Only commercial Illinois trucks must wait
Correct answer: A. 625 ILCS 5/11-1425 says no Illinois driver shall enter an intersection, a marked crosswalk, or a railroad grade crossing unless there is enough space on the other side to hold the vehicle without obstructing other vehicles, pedestrians, or trains — even if a signal indicates proceed. Testers treat an Illinois green as permission to gridlock the box. Room on the far side is the gate.
51. You approach an Illinois rotary or roundabout. Who yields, and how do you enter?
- A Yield to all Illinois traffic already circulating, including people walking or on bicycles, then enter by turning right and stay in your lane
- B Charge the Illinois island if your light looks green
- C Enter left against Illinois circulating traffic
- D Stop in the Illinois circle until someone waves you on
Correct answer: A. Illinois Rules of the Road describe a rotary or roundabout as an intersection where traffic travels around a central island counter-clockwise. Vehicles entering or exiting must yield to all traffic, including pedestrians and bicycles. Slow down, read the signs, enter by turning right when it is safe, and stay in your lane. Testers cut across an Illinois circle. Yield, then right, then hold the lane.
52. A special Illinois lane is marked for left turns by drivers going opposite ways. When may you drive in that lane?
- A Only when preparing for or making an Illinois left turn, or a U-turn where a U-turn is otherwise legal
- B Anytime you want an Illinois passing bay
- C As an Illinois through lane for two blocks
- D Only for Illinois right turns from a driveway
Correct answer: A. 625 ILCS 5/11-801(b) says that where a special two-way left-turn lane is marked, a left turn shall not be made from any other lane, and a vehicle shall not be driven in that lane except when preparing for or making a left turn from or into the roadway, or a U-turn when otherwise permitted. Testers treat an Illinois center turn stripe like a shortcut. Prepare the turn, then leave.
53. May you wear headset receivers while driving on an Illinois highway?
- A No; 625 ILCS 5/12-610 forbids headset receivers, though a single-sided headset or earpiece used only with a cellular or mobile telephone is allowed
- B Yes, if both Illinois ears stay covered
- C Only on an Illinois interstate after 7 p.m.
- D Yes, if you use Illinois flashers
Correct answer: A. 625 ILCS 5/12-610 says no driver of a motor vehicle on Illinois highways shall wear headset receivers while driving. A single-sided headset or earpiece used exclusively with a cellular or other mobile telephone is allowed, and on-duty law-enforcement, EMS, and fire personnel have their own carve-outs. Testers cover both Illinois ears. One ear, and only for the phone exception.
54. How close to an Illinois fire-station driveway may you stand or park, including on the opposite side of the street?
- A No closer than 20 feet to the driveway, or 75 feet on the opposite Illinois side when that side is sign-posted
- B Fifteen feet, the Illinois hydrant number
- C Against the Illinois bay if flashers are on
- D Anywhere an Illinois sidewalk is clear
