Racers in Illinois

You guys can debate the politics; the rest of us will attempt to post useful information. Here's another recently-enacted Illinois traffic law of which most out-of-staters are unaware:

It is illegal to use the left hand lane, (of a divided highway), for any reason except to pass.

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!
