[AT] towing tractors with a pickup

Illinois does vary renewal based on age: "*Drivers* who are aged 21 to 80
will *have* to complete an *Illinois license renewal* every four years,
while those aged 81 to 86 will *need to renew* every two years. If *you* are
over age 87, *you* will *have to renew* every year."
