Summary of Illinois Graduated Licensing Law
(detailed chart bottom of this page)
Illinois has a three stage licensing process for minors.
  1. Permit (at least age 15). We recommend our Driver Ed in a Box® to use during the Permit stage. Shows the parent how to teach collision-free driving habits and provides unique teaching tools (mirrors, checklists, videos, audio instruction series, etc.).
  2. Initial License (ages 16 - 17). Provide verification of driver education course and 25 hours supervised practice.
  3. Regular License (age 17 if has had license at least 6 months).
Teens want to know how to stay out of collisions!
Today’s teens do not just want their license; they want to be good collision-free drivers. They know the risks. Virtually all have friends who got a license and were involved in a collision in the first four weeks. Most teens have lost classmates due to fatal collisions.
Driver Ed in a Box® Certificate of Completion!

Our product now includes both the Interactive CD-Rom Version and the Textbook Version for one low price.  You may use either version to complete the course at your own pace.

Teens want to know "why" the things you ask them to do will work. When you complete the full course you get a Certificate of Completion. Take this to your insurance agent. It varies state by state and by insurance company, but you may receive an insurance discount.
Using the full course your teen will learn why each step is important while learning the collision-free HABITS that make you a better driver. The full course also includes a section on Social & Consumer Issues. This includes how alcohol and drugs as well as emotions and attitude affect driving performance. Also covered are vehicle ownership (buying, leasing, insuring, and maintaining).
Over 15,000 students have used Driver Ed in a Box®.
  "The whole package was great - certainly covered a lot more than I ever learned in driver's ed." - Sandy Meek, Parent
  "I was impressed with much of the information, because it not only stressed the importance of driving safely, but also explained in detail how to do that. Things like the small mirrors for the passenger and the audio tapes made the driving less nerve-wracking for everyone involved. The main emphasis of the entire course was safety and the many tips the guys on the tape gave evidenced that. I believe this course has helped me to become a good driver. I have had no accidents of tickets as of yet (nor do I plan to get any, if it is up to me), mainly because of this course. My mom even learned some things. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to become a safe driver! It's great. Keep up the good work." - C.R.W., Student  
"Excellent. This is the best way for anyone to learn how to drive especially with the traffic we have today!!" - Keith Beitler, Parent
