May 23, 2006 -- 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.
Unfortunately, Clark won't be able to answer any questions submitted via commenting. If you have a question, please try posting it to our message boards.

What others are saying
Red Light Run
If you were sitting at a red light and were about to be rear ended what would you do? If you were at a red light and people in the car beside you pointed a gun at your head what would you do?
Red Light Cameras
are a gross violation of your constitutional rights, i.e., your wife loans your car to your sister-in-law who, unknown to you, generated the violation. Examples abound. You have the right to confront your accuser, you cannot be deprived of property (money) without due process and you cannot be compelled to testify against yourself.
red light cameras
what is the problem with red light cameras. There is no reason to ever purposely run a red light. While I have missed a couple in 45 years it was O shit.Any one with a problem is probably deserving the ticket. And you or I may be coming with the green.
