At age 18 you are likely to be in the “full licensing phase” of the graduated license process in the Des Plaines and any city in Illinois. With this being the case, it seems your penalties for driving with expired car insurance would be the same as a motorist that is fully licensed.
The state of Illinois randomly checks cars for insurance by sending out questionnaires asking for the name of your insurance providers and policy number. Your license plates will be suspended if you do not have car insurance . If you are stopped for a traffic offense or in an accident, the traffic enforcement officer may cite you for not having auto insurance. If convicted you license plates will be suspended and you will pay fines of a minimum of $400 for driving without car insurance.
Your license plates may be reinstated with a $100 reinstatement fee and current proof of insurance. If you are found to be a repeat violator you can be required to serve a 4 month suspension period.
