Drivers under the age of 21
 
Drivers under 21 years of age are governed by the Illinois Graduated Driver Licensing Law. Such drivers are eligible for Traffic Safety School under the same rules for drivers 21 years of age and older.

However, a driver under the age of 21 is ineligible for Traffic Safety School if he or she has been charged with one of the following violations:

• illegally transporting alcohol;
• passing or driving on the left side in a no passing zone;
• improperly backing on a controlled access highway;
• failing to yield the right of way to a pedestrian at a crosswalk or on a sidewalk;
• leaving the scene of a property damage accident;
• leaving the scene of an accident without giving aid or information;
• speeding more than 30 mph in excess of the speed limit;
• passing a school bus unloading children;
• reckless driving;
• failing to stop for an approaching train; or
• not having a valid driver’s license.

Persons falling into this category cannot receive an order of court supervision and are ineligible for assignment to either the four-hour or eight-hour traffic safety program.

WARNING: Drivers who are ineligible to attend Traffic Safety School and select Option “B” will receive a conviction that will be reported to the Illinois Secretary of State and entered on their driving records.
