The state of Illinois requires that teenagers should have insurance before driving. The insurance company will send you an insurance card after you have paid your policy. Your IL insurance card should be kept always in your vehicle because driving in Illinois without insurance will suspend your license plates and incur you fines. Before driving anyone’s car, be sure there’s an insurance identification card. In Illinois, it is mandatory to carry the insurance when driving any vehicle.
