Good reason to stay out of Illinois. They should be able to make a couple million dollars in the first few days.

I'm all for driving a reasonable reduced speed in work zones, but most of the time, the majority of traffic will not allow you to go 45. Usually, you're lucky if you can get slowed down to 55 and not get crushed.

So, you've got a choice, get run over by an 18 wheeler, or risk the $375 fine.

Perhaps a better approach would be to only target the flagrant/aggressive drivers with these stiff fines AND let it be known that every 5-10 minutes a driver who is actually driving 45 will be sent a $375 gas voucher. I'll bet that incentive would get a lot of people to slow down. Be like playing the lottery. Driving for dollars.

The Big Brother photo camera shouldn't be used only to punish.
