| Call for class and/or driving cancellations: 630-372-5137 SB 172 tightens learner’s permit and GDL requirements through the following: • Extends learner’s permit period from three to nine months. • Extends nighttime curfews to drivers up to 17 years old (currently 16). • Moves up the weekday curfew to 10 p.m. from 11 p.m. and to 11 p.m. from midnight on weekends. Exceptions are made if driving with an adult, to and from work or school, and emergencies. • Doubles from six to 12 months the time during which a GDL driver, under the age of 18, may carry only one unrelated passenger under the age of 20, excluding siblings. • Allows ticketing for all passengers age 15 to 20 for riding in the car driven by the new driver. (Currently only the driver is ticketed.) • Requires student drivers to complete a full 6 hours of actual, on-the-street driving with a certified instructor. Currently up to 5 of the 6 hours may be substituted for other educational methods such as computer simulation. • Requires that new drivers have 6 months violation free of driving with a GDL before the age of 18 before becoming eligible for an unrestricted GDL license. With the 9 permit months, that means 15 months violation free driving is required before becoming eligible for a full license. • Establishes tough new sanctions for street racing and strengthens sanctions for repeat violations for any drivers under the age of 21.
“This legislation is about the safety of 16- and 17-year-old drivers throughout Illinois,” said Rep. D’Amico. “By strengthening our GDL law, Illinois is setting an example that I think states throughout the country will follow. I believe that this legislation will save lives here in Illinois and any other state that follows our lead.” “Illinois has made very strong progress in increasing safety belt use and reducing traffic fatalities since Gov. Blagojevich signed the primary seat belt enforcement into law in 2003,” said Acting IDOT Secretary Milt Sees. “But we have continued to see far too many tragic crashes involving teens. This legislation enacted today should enable us to save even more lives.” SB 172 becomes effective January 1, 2008, except for the provision requiring six hours of on-the-street driving, which takes effect July 1, 2008.
Employment opportunity: Hands-On considers applications from people with a background in either training/teaching or professional driving to work part time as an Instructor. You would cover the excess students of both adults and teens from our misc. locations. Training for certification will be provided. Note: Though we aren't looking at this time, we would consider any qualified applicants and will train those interested in certification depending on availability. We do not promise employment after the course is completed unless there is a need or placement works well between Instructor and Hands-On. For further info. call: (630)372-5137 |
