Radar tickets starting July,1st 2009

[rey rey]

Do you SPEED ? New way the state will send fines in mail! Illinois will begin using photo radar in freeway work zones in July. One mile per hour over the speed limit and the machine will get you a nice $375.00 ticket in the mail. Beginning July 1st, the State of Illinois will begin using the speed cameras in areas designated as "Work Zones" on major freeways. Anyone caught by these devices will be mailed a $375.00 ticket for the FIRST offense. The SECOND offense will cost $1000.00 and comes with a 90-Day suspension. Drivers will also receive demerit points against their license, which allow insurance companies to raise insurance rates.
This is the harshest penalty structure ever set for a governmental unit involving PHOTO speed enforcement. The State already has two camera vans on line issuing tickets 24/7 in work zones with speed limits lowered to 45 MPH. Photos of both the Driver's face and License plate are taken. Pass this on! In the current economy, the state will be looking for your $$'s.

I dont know about there... but I hardly see workers in construction zones. Then again it takes them 2 years to get anything done around here

and very rarely are they ever enforced, just don't speed...

 

[rey rey]

My understanding it going to work just like the traffic light camera.. so yeah they will be enforced.
