Tri -state is 8 lanes there, traffic moves well over the speed limit, so they pull over on whichever berm is closer, IL stops you as soon as you are able to stop.
I don't know that it will change anything, the accidents still happen, no matter how many are killed
I seldom take the northern Tri-state, there are other ways around and being cut-off going into the toll booths has soured me on that particular stretch
Another IL trooper killed by semi .

Bottom line, trucks are prohibitted from the 2 left lanes on 294. This trucker was in the FAR left lane.

Every time I've seen a United Van Lines or an Allied truck it has been hammering down the highway.
To the genius whining about cops guarding the corpse of one of their own instead of being out chasing criminals you do realize that the ISP are pretty much the highway cops right? They don't patrol neighborhoods.Marksteven Thanks this. -

The cop killed was an ISP trooper....NOT a Chicago PD officer. The officers standing around watching instead of doing something productive were Chicago PD officers...NOT ISP troopers. I would be more sympathetic to them standing around watching if they were ISP troopers, or even if the dead cop was a Chicago PD officer....but neither was the case. While those Chicago PD officers were standing around having a circle jerk while watching the ISP conduct their investigation, actual crimes were being perpetrated in the city they should have been out patrolling. There was no need for those Chicago PD officers to be there. -
Only a truck driver could use this to find fault with the Chicago PD.

That's like sayibg I was army so I should not feel sadbess and loss when a marine dies. I should not be there to.pay respects and prayers. Especially since I am no longer serving.
I still stop to show my respect. I ride escort with the patriot guard riders. Should I no longer do this?
Its called the thin blue line. A cop is a cop is a brother to these guys. No matter which department each works for. Maybe its my Army service or the 8 years working on ambulance but I understand and empathize with all of them.
