Understanding the Illinois Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) System
Illinois follows a Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program to help new drivers gain experience and reduce crashes among teens. Here’s how it works:
1. Instruction Permit (Age 15+)
- Teens may apply for an Instruction Permit at age 15 if enrolled in a state-approved Driver’s Ed program.
- Permit holders must always be accompanied by a licensed adult age 21 or older.
- A minimum of 50 hours of supervised driving (10 hours at night) is required.
2. Initial Licensing Phase (Ages 16–17)
- After completing a state-approved Driver’s Ed course, holding a permit for at least nine months, and completing the required supervised driving hours, teens may apply for an Initial License.
- Restrictions:
- No more than one unrelated passenger under 20 during the first 12 months.
- No driving between 10 PM and 6 AM (Sun–Thurs) or 11 PM and 6 AM (Fri–Sat).
3. Full License (Age 18+)
- Teens become eligible for a full license after turning 18 and maintaining a clean driving record.
