Every state has areas where law enforcement likes to hang out to target speeders and hand out tickets. There's one map that shows Illinois really is just one big speed trap.
I will not share any details of how I drove when I was a younger person with a Firebird he loved too much in an effort to not incriminate myself. However, even I have never clocked what the Wisconsin State Patrol just shared from a highway encounter they had.
Are you planning to adventure beyond the borders of Illinois this summer? If so, you might want to be careful as two neighbors next to the Land of Lincoln are among the 10 most notorious states in America for handing out speeding tickets.
I am not a lawyer and don't want to be a lawyer, but I'd love to understand better whether or not you can be busted by a speed camera in Illinois. The short answer is yes. The long answer is...complicated.
We know for a fact that traffic cameras are used in Missouri because we see them every day in Hannibal. However, are they really legal? The answer is probably more complicated than you might think.
I'm not trying to downplay the honor because it really is a nice recognition for a Missouri place. However, what the net is declaring one of best places to live in America really is full of lead foot speeders.
If you've ever exceeded the speed limit while behind the wheel here in Minnesota, I'm just going to guess you weren't going as fast as THIS driver was.
