Default Re: Racers in Illinois

After I sent the governor a nice letter, I would stay out of Illinois and encourage everyone else to do the same. If you weren't doing anything wrong, the police surely don't need to see your license plate.

Bear in mind, the state of Illinois is flat broke. If you simply stick to the speed limits and warning signs while remembering they will write a ticket for absolutely ANYTHING, you'll be OK. However, they will use any tactic to get money. Recently, I was awarded an Illinois ticket while traveling in the right-hand lane at the speed limit on a deserted interstate at midnight. The violation? My license plate light was not bright enough!
