Illinois teen drivers under 18 cannot use a cell phone while driving - not even hands-free. Adult drivers can use hands-free devices.
That distinction is one of the most missed questions on the Secretary of State's written exam. Applicants who know the adult rule apply it to teen questions and lose the point. The Secretary of State tests the GDL cell phone restriction as a standalone question specifically because the two rules differ.

<Scott's Law Is Broader Than Most States' Move Over Laws: Illinois's Scott's Law covers any vehicle stopped on the shoulder with flashing lights - police, fire, tow trucks, construction equipment, and even disabled passenger vehicles using hazard lights. The exam tests the full scope, not just emergency vehicles. Skip the search - Shoro AI has the current Illinois manual and practice questions in one place.
From Chicago's Dan Ryan interchange to the agricultural grid roads of downstate Illinois, the Illinois Rules of the Road 2026 covers every rule the Secretary of State's exam tests. Read the teen-specific sections especially carefully.

Scott's Law requires slowing down and moving over for any flashing-light vehicle on the shoulder - not just police. It covers tow trucks, fire trucks, and construction equipment too. That broad scope is what makes it distinctly Illinois and why it's lanes away from emergency vehicles, tow trucks, and highway maintenance vehicles stopped on the roadside with their lights flashing. It was named after a Chicago firefighter killed by a passing vehicle while responding to a crash. Illinois enforces it aggressively, fines are significant, and the knowledge exam tests it in multiple scenario formats. Read that section twice.
Illinois's knowledge test has 35 questions - 10 on road signs, 10 on traffic signals/pavement markings, and 15 on rules of the road. You need 28 correct (80%) to pass. All questions come from the Illinois Rules of the Road handbook. The test is computerized at all Driver Services Facilities.
Yes. Illinois's complete cell phone ban for drivers under 18 - covering both handheld and hands-free use - is a standalone exam question. This is stricter than the adult law, which permits hands-free use. The exam tests the teen ban specifically because it's a common point of confusion for young applicants.
"The AI mock tests were surprisingly realistic. The explanations for road signs helped me understand the logic, not just memorize. Passed my permit test on the first try!"
