Section 2 – Illinois Insurance Requirements
Use The Illinois Rules of the Road Manual pages 88-91 to answer the following questions.
12. List the four things you must do if you have a traffic crash or collision.
Stop at Once. If there are no injuries and vehicles can be safely moved, they should be moved out of travel
lanes as soon as possible. Information can be exchanged away from the actual accident scene. Needlessly
blocking or endangering other traffic can result in secondary accidents.
Render Aid. Give any reasonable aid to injured persons. Remember, injured people should never be moved
carelessly. In many cases, they should not be move at all until it is possible to get an ambulance or someone
trained in first aid to the scene. If a driver is involved in an accident in which a person is killed or rendered
unconscious, the driver is required to remain at the scene until police arrive.
Exchange Information. Give to the other driver, passengers in the vehicle or any injured pedestrian, your
name, address, driver license number, license plate number of your vehicle, and your insurance
information.
File an accident Report if (See question 13)
13. Illinois law requires you to file an accident report with IDOT if:
1. There is more than $1,500 damage to your vehicle or too another vehicle
2. If any vehicle is uninsured, a report must be filed for $500 or more
3. Someone in injured (no matter how minor)

bodily injury to others; and $10,000 per accident for damage to the property of others
b. Personal Injury Protection $15,000 per person for reasonable and necessary expenses one year

You receive an unsatisfied court judgment related to a crash.
You are suspended under the Safety Responsibility Law due to an uninsured crash.
You receive court supervision for a mandatory insurance violation.
You have been convicted of three or more mandatory insurance violations.
Proof of financial responsibility may include a certificate of insurance (SR22), a bond
or a deposit of securities (such as stock certificates). The SR22 is filed directly with
the Secretary of State by the insurance company. Through the SR22 process, the
Secretary of State monitors insurance coverage for a period of time specified by law.
Failure to renew insurance coverage or cancellation of insurance will result in a driver’s
license suspension.

Section 1 Short Answer
Photo 1
Photo 1 is taken from the driver’s view. You are the driver.
Answer questions 1 and 2 using this photograph.
1. You intend to make a right turn. Describe as specifically as
possible what your target is.
The right hand window on the first floor

The door
In photo 2 on the right, you are approaching a curve. Answer
questions 3 and 4 using this photograph.
3. Is your car on or off target? Off Target
4. What steering action should you take at this moment?
Why?
Steer to the left to get back on target and avoid running
off the roadway.
5. Explain how and when you would “look into the curve”.
When you reach the curve, turn your head to look through the curve with you central vision.
6. Why should your vision be directed through the curve?
To look for problems and a new targeting path
7. As the driver, how can you tell when the car is on target?
When the car is "on target" the target will appear aligned with the top of the steering wheel.
Photo 2
8. Explain how your central vision should be directed into the curve.
As the car gets closer to the curve, and it is time to select a new target, look through the curve with central
vision until you see another straight-away for a new target.
9. What is the “targeting path”?
The "targeting path" is the space you expect the vehicle will travel to arrive into the target area.
10. What are LOS-POT blockages and how can they affect your targeting path?
Anything that blocks your view or intended path of travel. See 3.05 content for listing
11. What does it mean to “Check Front Swing” when backing?
Check to the front of the car, in the opposite direction to which you are turning, to be certain that the front
swing doesn’t strike any objects.
Photo 3 is taken from the driver’s view. You are the
driver. Answer questions 12 and 13 using this
photograph.
Photo 3
12. What do you see in your target area?
A hillcrest and the intersection to the right
13. What LOS-POT blockages do you see that can
affect your targeting path?
The bushes to the right appear to block a
driveway, and the intersection to the right is blocked. The oncoming vehicle affects our right zone.
14. Explain how to use targets while backing.
Look over the right shoulder and aim the center of the car for the target (because when you are looking over
