May 23, 2006 -- Illinois uses decoys to issue tickets
American drivers dont do well in construction zones. If were told to slow down in construction zones, we dont. We just ignore the signs. Illinois has had enough of drivers who cant be bothered. The company tracks peoples speeds using decoy vehicles in work zones. Your first violation earns you a $175 ticket. The second will cost you $1,000! And if they can identify the driver, its a 90-day license suspension. Clark agrees 100 percent. There is no excuse for not slowing down. Red light cameras, on the other hand, are mostly about making money for the local government. But please remember that if youre approaching an intersection and it turns yellow, youre supposed to slow down not speed up.
