This weekend ILL State Troopers will be spread out about 5 miles apart, all over the IL Tollroads to crackdown on speeders. Friday 150 speeding tickets were issued. Average car speed on I - 294 north was clocked at



89 mph in a 55 zone according to one report on the 10 o'clock news.

Watch Out !

Having driven 294 a couple times I've always wondered what they were going.

You know, that reminds me of either Thanksgiving or Christmas when there was an IL driver up here and he got stopped by the WI State Patrol I think it was at least 3 times for speeding.

In the Chicago area if you drive 55 you better be in the left lane and be ready for horns to blow fist and other things to wave. No one drives the speed limit.

Most of the time when I got north on I-294 to Bass Pro Shop / Outdoor World in Gurnee traffic is moving 85 +.

If I know the cops aren't around I'll maybe do 75 mph. Hope the turckers are telling the truth on the CB. Cars whiz by & are out of sight before you can count to ten. Cars cut in front of you with barely a foot of spare spare.

Some chinese fortune cookie cut me off with a Focus for christ sake ! I saw her coming up the center lane, I'm in the right lane catching up to a semi in the middle lane. I give it the gas to close that gap up but she was flying so fast she passed me in a blink of an eye, cut over and jumped on the brakes unaware of the slow moving 82 Caprice up near the front of the semi.

I give her the horn & bright lights as she had to ride the right lane for quite awhile now - trapped.

Its like that in every major city I been too. Chit man DFW is like Nascar for the people. OKC is a blast also. I drive no more than 5 over limit and get passed by everybody with more than

3 cylinders.
