CONstruction zone - scott's law
CONSTRUCTION ZONE VIOLATIONS
The recent addition of photo radar and other automated enforcement systems has led to an increase in the number of construction zone tickets in the Metro East and throughout the Illinois River Bend. A large percentage of these tickets are issued for moving violations such as:
• Speeding• Using a cellphone (in Illinois)• Failure to yield• Failure to follow signage or detoursSpeeding and other traffic offenses committed while driving in a construction zone are considered more serious than those committed while in a standard traffic zone. If you are pulled over for one of these violations, or receive a photo enforcement traffic ticket in the mail, it is important to understand your rights and options. If you simply pay a traffic ticket, you are pleading guilty to the offense and a conviction will go on your driving record. As a result, you may be forced to pay a hefty fine, your insurance rates will likely increase and, depending on your history of past offenses, your driver's license may be suspended. If you hold a commercial driver's license (CDL), a citation for a construction zone moving violation could cost you your job, even if you were driving your personal vehicle at the time.
What Is Scott's Law?Often called the "Move Over Law," Scott's Law requires drivers to yield to moving emergency vehicles displaying flashing warning lights. The law also requires drivers to change lanes (if possible) or reduce speed and proceed with due caution when approaching a stationary emergency vehicle displaying flashing warning lights.Scott's Law was created in honor of Lieutenant Scott Gillen of the Chicago Fire Department, who was hit and killed in 2000 by a drunk motorist while assisting at a crash on the Dan Ryan Expressway in Illinois.Possible Punishment For Violating Scott's LawViolation of Scott's Law could result in a fine of up to $10,000. Conviction could also result in driver's license suspension under the following circumstances:• 90 days to one year if the violation results in damage to the property of another person• 180 days to two years if the violation results in injury to another person• Two years if the violation results in the death of another person
LICENSE SUSPENSION
If you face a possible driver's license suspension, you may not want to pay an attorney to handle a so-called "minor legal issue." The costs you face in the future, however, will far exceed any legal fees charged to you. If your license is suspended, you may have trouble getting to work, taking care of your children and carrying out your daily routine. A driver's license suspension may also dramatically increase your car insurance rates. If you have a CDL, you could lose your job and your livelihood.
