Illinois boosts idling fines Illinois boosts idling fines Quote: Less than a week after Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn gave truckers a reason to cheer him for his decision to do away with split speed limits on rural, interstate highways, there likely are quite a few groans over his decision to boost the fines for idling violations. Illinois law now prohibits diesel-powered vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of more than 8,000 pounds from stationary idling longer than 10 minutes per hour in areas that include Chicago and East St. Louis, IL. Violators face $50 fines for first offenses. Second or subsequent offenses within any 12-month period result in $150 fines. Certain exceptions apply. Quinn signed a bill into law Tuesday, Aug. 18, to increase the first-offender fine from $50 to $90. Repeat offenses would increase from $150 to $500. It took effect immediately. more here>> Illinois boosts idling fines __________________ Click here to learn how to sponsor us

Increase fines go into effect immediately. Speed limit increase will go into effect on January 1st. WTF! __________________ They call me Biscuit The best thing about being a pessimist is very rarely do you let yourself down.
