How long is a standard Illinois driver's license valid for a driver between the ages of 21 and 80?
-
A.
Two years
-
B.
Three years
-
C.
Four years Correct
-
D.
Six years
The answer is "Four years"
A standard Illinois license runs four years and expires on the driver's birthday. The two-year answer belongs to the 81-86 age band that is listed a few lines further down, and a reader who scanned that exception can apply it to every adult.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Two years
Two years is the term set for drivers ages 81 through 86, not for the standard adult license. This answer applies the 81-86 exception band to every adult driver.
B. Three years
Illinois does not use a three-year term for any driver age band. This answer guesses a middle value between the two-year senior band and the four-year standard term.
D. Six years
Illinois does not issue a six-year driver's license under any age category. This answer carries over a longer term from another state's licensing schedule.
