Illinois State Police Reminds Motorists Of Scott's Law

Last year, 27 Illinois State Police squad cars were struck by violators of Scott's Law, leaving three troopers dead. Ten squad cars have been hit so far this year says Trooper Jayme Bufford.

 

 

Getting people to obey Scott’s Law has been very important to the State Police, says Trooper Bufford.

 

 

Scott's Law, also called the Move Over Law, requires drivers to slow down and switch lanes if they can when approaching a vehicle with flashing lights on the side of the road. Fines begin at 250 dollars and so far this year, Troopers have issued more than 13-hundred tickets for not moving over.
