New Road Laws Tough on Teens
|

The State of Illinois is getting tough on teen drivers. After a series of serious accidents involving the deaths of teenage drivers in Illinois last year, the State Legislature has passed a sweeping new law to reduce the chances of more in the future.
When the bill takes effect January 1, 2008, it will give parents a much stronger role in teaching teens to drive by tripling the learner's permit period and will target risk factors blamed for crashes that kill 5,000 to 6,000 teens a year.
The added requirements, including a nine-month learner's permit period, lengthier passenger restrictions and extended night-driving limits for teens, will reduce automobile crashes, the leading killer of teens here in Illinois.
A recent public health study from Johns Hopkins University shows that states with tougher restrictions on teen drivers see about a 21 percent decline in fatal crashes involving 16-year-old drivers. The study also makes it clear that teens who receive driving experience with adult supervision are safer behind the wheel. The new law will increase the minimum time from three to nine months to reach that requirement.
