originals<\/strong><\/span>. New drivers must submit one document from Groups A, B, C, and two documents for Group D.<\/p>\nVehicle<\/strong><\/p>\nYour vehicle must be running with a valid insurance card. The vehicle must be running with all indicators working and with no problems. The vehicle:<\/p>\n
\n- Must comply according to the Illinois Secretary of State standards<\/li>\n
- Must have a valid insurance which is required before the road test<\/li>\n
- Must display front and rear licence plates with unexpired license sticker<\/li>\n
- Must be driven to the DMV by a driver with valid license and insurance<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Tests<\/strong><\/p>\nYou are required to take a written test and a road test. At the DMV, first you have to take a token for a written test. The written test is a computer based test and covers the road signs, basic rules, seat belt requirements, and so on. You can skip a question if you think it is confusing. As soon as you answer thirty-five questions the computer will inform you that you have passed the test.<\/p>\n

Then, you can take a token for road test. A tester from the DMV will accompany you on a short road course with real traffic. The tester will test if you are able to follow directions and instructions properly. They will grade you on certain key aspects such as uphill, downhill, backing from a driveway on to a road, yielding, lane changes, parking, and so on.<\/p>\n
Fees<\/strong><\/p>\nYou are required to pay a fee for the computer test, written permit, and road test. The fee varies from $25 to $40 depending upon your age and type of test.<\/p>\n
Make sure you have all original documents and take extra photocopies. Check the weather and road conditions before you go. Also, check the national holidays and working hours of the local DMV. It is better to go in the early hours so you can finish off early. You can expect two to three hours before the entire process is completed.<\/p>\n
Training<\/strong><\/p>\nIf you are new to the USA or to the Quad cities, it is suggested to go through a trainer who will guide you through the entire process. The trainer with a valid vehicle and insurance card can guide you through the rules and regulations of the road. It is better to take four to five classes before you go for the road test.<\/p>\n

However, there are certain requirements with respect to documents, vehicle, tests, and of course certain fees for a test.
