Illinois Practice DUI & Impaired Driving

After a DUI conviction in Illinois, before your driving privileges can be restored, you must file Financial Responsibility Insurance (SR-22) for how long?

  1. A.
    Five years
  2. B.
    Ten years
  3. C.
    One year
  4. D.
    Three years Correct
The Why

The answer is "Three years"

The manual requires filing Financial Responsibility Insurance (SR-22) for three years after a DUI conviction. One year is the trap: drivers pattern the insurance filing off the first-offense revocation length, though the SR-22 obligation stretches beyond it.

Why the others miss

The traps in the wrong answers

A. Five years

Five years is the second-conviction revocation figure, not the SR-22 filing length. This answer confuses the second-conviction revocation floor with the insurance-filing duration.

B. Ten years

Ten years is the third-conviction revocation figure, not any insurance-filing period. This answer pulls the third-DUI revocation number and applies it to insurance.

C. One year

One year is the standard first-offense revocation, but the SR-22 obligation runs longer. This answer pairs the SR-22 duration with the first-offense revocation, though the manual sets them separately.
