Every state has its own laws for driving and getting a driver's license. To learn these laws, people have to read the Rules of the Road book for their state. They can get the book free at a driver's license facility in their state.

In Illinois, people between the ages of 15 and 18 have to take a driver's education course in school before they can get a permit to practice driving. People over 18 don't have to take this course in order to get a permit. When people get a learner's permit, they have to take a test. They have to know the traffic signs and laws in order to pass this test. Then they have to get their vision tested. When they get theirlearner's permits, they can practice driving, but a licensed driver has to be in the car with

them at all times. A learner's permit is good for one year.

When the learner is ready to get a license, he or she has to take a driving test. During the test, new drivers have to back out of an alley, park uphill anddownhill, make right- and left-turns, obey all traffic laws, and do whatever else the examiner may ask them to do to show that they know how to drive.
