>
> 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!!!
