How many passengers can a Level 1 driver have in the car?

A Level 1 driver, who holds an instruction permit in Illinois, is permitted to have only one passenger who is under 20 years old in the vehicle. This restriction is in place to promote safety and reduce distractions while the learner is driving, allowing them to focus on honing their driving skills.

The limitation on the number of passengers is designed to ensure that novice drivers can practice in a less chaotic environment. Therefore, having only one passenger under 20 helps create a safer driving condition. Other age groups and the specific conditions for passengers, like requiring seatbelts, are stipulated by broader driving regulations, but the key guideline focused on here is the restriction for Level 1 drivers.
