For whom does Illinois permit hands-free devices or Bluetooth technology while driving?
-
A.
Only drivers who have completed driver education
-
B.
All licensed drivers regardless of age
-
C.
Only drivers age 19 and older Correct
-
D.
Only commercial drivers on duty
The answer is "Only drivers age 19 and older"
Illinois permits hands-free devices and Bluetooth for drivers age 19 and older; younger drivers still fall under the Graduated Driver Licensing cellphone ban. Test-takers who reach for 'all licensed drivers' are extending the adult rule down to teens, missing that the GDL section carves those under 19 out.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Only drivers who have completed driver education
Completing driver education does not unlock hands-free permission; age 19 is the threshold. This answer ties the cellphone rule to course completion, confusing GDL prerequisites with the phone rule.
B. All licensed drivers regardless of age
The manual restricts hands-free use to drivers age 19 and older, not to every license holder. This answer extends the adult hands-free rule down to teen drivers, forgetting the age-19 cutoff GDL keeps in place.
D. Only commercial drivers on duty
The rule ties permission to driver age, not to occupation or duty status. This answer borrows a commercial-driver carve-out that the state manual never grants for cellphone use.
