What type of vehicle can a Class C non-CDL license holder operate in Illinois?

A Class C non-CDL license holder in Illinois is allowed to operate a vehicle that does not require a commercial driver's license. This typically includes smaller vehicles that are used for personal or recreational purposes, such as cars, vans, or light trucks, which do not meet the larger thresholds set for commercial vehicles.

The other categories listed, such as those for vehicles transporting 16 or more passengers, vehicles weighing 26,001 pounds or more, or vehicles transporting hazardous materials, fall under the requirements for a commercial driver's license due to their specific regulatory criteria. Therefore, these options would not be applicable to a holder of a Class C non-CDL license. The defining aspect of a Class C non-CDL license is that it allows for the operation of vehicles that are not classified as commercial, ensuring that the driver can manage everyday transportation needs without the stricter requirements imposed on commercial drivers.
