Nope no lawyer kad my copy of the ticket and noticed that the notes on the bottom were different than what was on mine and it snowballed from there. Called kept my eyes open and made that Trooper sweat let alone the proscuters.

I travel through Illinois a lot, how much are you supposed to slow down if you're blocked in?

I slowed doqwn 25 MPH and still was nailed but the Trooper was also caught changing the ticket after giving it to me. My ticket copies had nothing extra listed on them yet the copy showed to the court had no cars on the left. So just watch out in Mc Lean and Livingston Counties on I-55 since that is were this PRICK patrols.

How much longer before you'll have yourself going at 10 mph? :roll:

This is why you got out of the citation, more than likely. And rightfully so.

So you are criticizing Ironeagle for getting a ticket yet you freely admit to driving 10 mph over the limit? Can you say hypocrite? Probably not.
What your are doing is worse than than what he got ticketed for IMO.

I keep TELLIN' ya REV!!! You gotta work on your comprehension!!! He didn't say he slowed down TO 25mph..... He said he slowed down [by] 25mph! Of course, his math is still 5mph off..... but it is going UP.... not DOWN!!! :roll:

:lol: :lol:

You must be looking at a different post, because I see no posts that say that he slowed down by anything.

Of course, his math is still 5mph off
Which makes you wrong. Next? :roll:

Rev read this one you IDIOT

My brother who was also forced off the road was with me and he saw me slow down from 65 the speed limit by the way to 35 mph moved as far over to the left as possible without causing an accident yet I was still pulled over. That day alone they nailed 40 cars for so called Scotts law voilations and also 25 truckers. So the State troopers and the county are using this as a source of revenue.

This was the third or fourth post in the thread.

CDL holders want to be viewed as professional drivers and scream when they are not, and then they scream when they are and held to a higher standard.

Good luck with your court date. I think you are going to need it.
its a dumb law, because of exactly what happened to the poster

many times, i am driving and CANNOT MOVE OVER, so what do i do? run a couple of fourwheelers off the road, or just slow down?

usually it gives you the choice to slow down or change lanes, but many times you cannot change lanes

i dont know the particulars of this guys case, but i could see it happening, because it happens often

but on a similar note, why does it say emergency vehicles and not all vehicles on the shoulder? i move over no matter what vehicle is there, if i can move over safely

if not, i slow down
