Illinois State Police say they are continuing to see an alarming number of Scott’s Law violations resulting in crashes. That’s the law that requires vehicles to slow down and move over when they approach emergency vehicles or any vehicle with flashing lights on the side of the road.
State police issued three such citations on Tuesday alone, one near Chicago and the other two Downstate. Two of the crashes resulted in injuries. They involved IDOT trucks and a private road contractor.
State police note that Scott’s Law violations can lead to hundreds or thousands of dollars in fines, and may result in loss of driving privileges.
