You’ve been learning the rules of the road and other traffic laws to pass the official written exam and obtain an instruction permit. You may have already taken some of our other practice tests to reinforce your new knowledge. But now, we have something a little different for you!
This free Illinois Fines and Limits permit practice test is mainly about the official penalties you may face if you violate some of those laws. These practice questions are among the toughest you may get on your instruction permit test. They also show that breaking the traffic laws can have serious consequences.
This practice test is up to date as of October 2025. The 50 questions on this practice test are based on Illinois’s official driver’s manual (Illinois DMV Handbook (IL Driver's Manual) 2025) and the Illinois Compiled Statutes.
Here are just some of the issues addressed by the questions and answers on this practice test:
What are some offenses that result in license suspension for a first conviction? What are some offenses that result in license revocation for a first conviction?
What are the required minimum liability insurance coverages on your vehicle, and what are the penalties if you don’t meet these requirements?
What is the length of license suspension for driving under the influence (DUI) or refusing a chemical test for alcohol? For a driver under 21, what is the length of license revocation for DUI? What circumstances can result in even harsher penalties than usual? How long does a DUI conviction remain on your driving record?
As with all the permit practice tests we offer, each question on the Illinois Fines and Limits permit practice test comes with an optional hint and an explanation of the correct answer, courtesy of our automated assistant.
In Illinois in 2022, there were 298,347 total motor vehicle crashes, including 1,147 total fatal crashes (fortunately only 0.4% of the total crashes). An average of 1.1 deaths occurred per fatal crash, which works out to about 3 traffic deaths per day.
Crashes involving pedestrians accounted for 1.4% of total crashes but 16.9% of fatal crashes. Crashes involving motorcycles accounted for 1% of total crashes but 12.6% of fatal crashes. Crashes involving pedalcyclists accounted for less than 1.0% of total crashes but 3.1% of fatal crashes.
Crashes involving speed accounted for 31.8% of total crashes and 43.8% of fatal crashes.
Violating the traffic laws can get you into serious trouble. Don’t become another statistic.
Good luck with your written exam, and please drive safely!
