What is the maximum license revocation period for a first DUI offense by an Illinois driver who is under the age of twenty-one?

• A. 1 Year
• B. 2 Years
• C. 3 Years
• D. 6 Months

Answer: (B)

In Illinois, underage drivers face stricter DUI penalties, and for a first offense the maximum license revocation is two years. This longest period is set to deter underage drinking and driving, and it applies regardless of other factors for a first offense. In reality, the exact revocation length can be shorter depending on administrative actions and court decisions, but two years is the upper limit. After revocation ends, you’d go through the reinstatement process, which may include completing required alcohol education or treatment and paying fees. The other timeframes are shorter than the maximum set for a first offense.
