Legislation to provide driver’s licenses for undocumented immigrants recently passed the Illinois House and will be sent to Governor Quinn’s office for signature. He has indicated that he will sign the bill. Although some people object to providing any privileges for immigrants who may be illegal, we think it benefits the public and our clients to have this legislation. Whether or not they obtain licenses, many undocumented aliens are going to drive anyway. We think it is better to provide them with training regarding our rules of the road (necessary to obtain the license) and provide a means for them to obtain insurance. We have experienced cases where our clients were hit by illegals who had no insurance. While one can protect themselves against uninsured drivers by purchasing uninsured motorist insurance coverage, it is often better to have an insured defendant.
