Illinois uses decoys to issue tickets
American drivers don’t do well in construction zones. If we’re told to slow down in construction zones, we don’t. We just ignore the signs. Illinois has had enough of drivers who can’t be bothered. The company tracks people’s 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, it’s 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 you’re approaching an intersection and it turns yellow, you’re supposed to slow down not speed up.
