Illinois’ mandatory insurance law is one of the most significant consumer protection measures now on the books. Comply or end up like this.
The Law
You are in compliance with the mandatory insurance law if you have vehicle liability insurance in the following minimum amounts:
You must always carry your insurance card in your vehicle and show it upon request by any law enforcement officer. Your insurance company will send you an insurance card, usually when your insurance policy is issued or renewed.
Your signature on the Vehicle Renewal Registration Application affirms that your vehicle will be properly insured throughout the registration period.
Enforcement
Enforcement of the mandatory insurance law is accomplished through a random questionnaire sampling process and the issuance of traffic tickets.

Chicago native Robert Warren puts the go in Chica-GO. This bright minded entrepreneur is an example of how integrity, hard work, and motivation can make your dreams come true. I’ve known this guy since high school when he used to tinker with my beautiful ‘96 pearl white Lincoln Continental. We used to sit in his garage on cold Chicago winters with his tube heater cranked and Metallica blaring in the background. I could always trust Rob to give me a great deal for really top notch work. I’ve kept in touch with him over the years and his garage at his Ma’s eventually became too small. A couple years ago, Rob opened up R/S Automotive in Oak Forest. It’s a beautiful joint with 3 bays and complete auto repair capabilities. I think it’s great to help your friends out, so if your car is sputtering or you need your oil changed, these are some really stand up guys who will take great care of you. You don’t see high standards like this that often these days, and I give credit where credit is due. Check R/S Automotive out and tell your friends. Also, you can catch Rob and his band SOMBER performing all over Chicago. These guys rock.
