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 February 2026. The 50 questions on this practice test are based on Illinois’s official driver’s manual (Illinois DMV Handbook (IL Driver's Manual) 2026) 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 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.
