Illinois Driving Test Requirements: Are You Due?
Understanding Illinois driving test requirements is critical because rules vary based on age and other factors. Generally, if you are an Illinois driver aged 21-80, your driver's license is valid for four years and expires on your birthday. Illinois is the only state that requires people over a certain age to take a driving test. If you are 75 or older, you must renew your license in person and pass the required test. The state uses a comprehensive testing approach that includes a written test, a vision test and a road test, with specific requirements based on driver age and circumstances. The requirements are designed to ensure road safety, taking into account the needs and abilities of different age groups. You may have a range of questions about Illinois driving services.

GM allegedly sold data related to emergency braking, speeding and late-night driving to reporting agencies. Insurance companies can use the data to set rates and deny coverage to drivers. General Motors has been banned from providing customer location and driver behavior data to consumer reporting agencies for five years. The move comes after the Federal Trade Commission filed charges and investigations suggesting that General Motors and OnStar were collecting, using and selling sensitive data on millions of vehicles that could be used to set insurance rates. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("0f7e3106 -c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8"); } else { adpushup.triggerAd("82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f"); The FTC accuses the automaker of using a misleading process to sign up customers for its OnStar connected vehicle service and OnStar smart driver feature.

Mercedes asks 17 E-Class owners to stop driving their cars
Thankfully, Mercedes-Benz will provide leased vehicles to affected owners go through Brad Anderson 14 hours ago Affected vehicles include 2025 Mercedes E350 and E450 models with rear axle issues. Mercedes-Benz has discovered a possible weak weld in the camber strut brace. It's unclear when the automaker will begin making necessary repairs to affected cars. Mercedes-Benz only recently began production of the 2025 E-Class, but a small number of models have already been recalled in the United States. Unlike simple software issues that can be fixed with over-the-air updates, these vehicles require a trip to a dealership, with Mercedes actually urging owners to stop driving their cars. So what exactly is the problem that prompts Mercedes to tell owners to stop? The problem stems from the welds that secure the camber strut brackets to the rear axle bracket. These welds may not comply with current production specifications and may pose a safety risk. Read: 2025 Mercedes-AMG E 53 is an expensive…

Australian police are cracking down on criminals driving unmarked G80 BMW M3s
The BMW G80 M3 has been deployed by police in several Australian states. A gray G80 was used in Canberra earlier this year during a visit by the Chinese Prime Minister. BMW sedans in the Australian police fleet include standard 5 Series and M3 models.

Today, different police forces across the country use a variety of vehicles from different brands, including Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, Volkswagen, Kia, Skoda and Subaru.

Woman arrested after driving Toyota Tundra at 100
Oregon authorities report the driver ultimately crashed and registered a BAC of 0.29 An Oregon woman was reportedly caught driving a Toyota Tundra at nearly 100 mph. The truck later crashed and authorities arrested the woman on charges of driving under the influence and reckless driving. Her blood alcohol content was reportedly 0.29, well above the 0.08 limit.

2025 Volvo XC90 review: Driving fast
original Volvo XC90 It has persisted for 14 years, and based on the excellent performance of the second-generation model, it seems likely that the MkII will do the same thing. It first hit global markets in 2015 and arrived in Australia for the 2016 model year, receiving a significant update in 2020 that introduced a mild-hybrid powertrain and improved looks. However, despite the imminent arrival of the all-electric Volvo EX90, the second-generation XC90 will continue to offer the Scandinavian company's customers the chance to stick with combustion power on its large seven-seat luxury SUV, if they so wish. . Another tweak to the front-end design—primarily new "Quake" daytime running lights, a diagonal-slat grille, and a creased hood—comes with a newer, larger infotainment system running Google software. Combined, but the drivetrain is unchanged - we suspect we'll only get the T8 plug-in hybrid (PHEV) this time around. We drove the latest version of the XC90 in its native Sweden to see…

Car automation may do more harm than good
Studies have found that drivers using partially automated systems are more likely to be distracted while driving. October 26, 2024 — Research into how partial vehicle automation affects safety suggests that partial automation may not do much for the safety of the vehicle and its occupants. In a study conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and MIT, researchers found that partial automation may do more harm than good. Vehicles may use cameras and other sensors to implement partially automated systems purportedly designed to keep the vehicle in its lane and traveling at a specific speed. The system can also slow down or speed up the vehicle depending on traffic and road conditions. But the owner's manual also warns drivers to pay close attention to their surroundings and be prepared to take control of their vehicle at any time. New research shows that not all drivers do this. According to IIHS researchers, one study used 29 volunteers and 2017…
