Teen-driving laws set to take effect Tuesday

SPRINGFIELD – New laws taking effect Jan. 1 will make it more difficult for teens to earn full driving privileges and grant parents a free online peek at their child's driving records.

"These new laws will make the roads safer for all of us, especially teen drivers, and will save lives," said a statement from Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White.
