Drivers who are between 79 and 86 years old would no longer have to take a behind-the-wheel driving test to maintain a driver’s license in Illinois under proposed legislation. The Land of Lincoln is the only state that requires the driving test based on age.
Illinois is one of five states that does not allow immediate family members to report concerns about a relative’s driving ability, which the bill would change.
Drivers aged 79 and 80 must currently renew their license every four years, in addition to taking a behind-the-wheel test and a. vision test.
