Top 5 Traffic Violations Drivers Break The Most In Illinois
Ever noticed how people are just so bad at driving? In Illinois, we could all use a refresher on the rules of the road because, clearly, we forgot what's legal behind the wheel.
I'm not saying I'm the best driver in the world, but I have gotten in one car accident in my lifetime and it wasn't my fault. I was headed down Auburn Street toward the "wreck-it-roundabout" when I stopped for a school bus and the van behind me plowed into my backseat. C'mon now, give people room to stop at a moment's notice!

Anyway, it seems to be a trend to run red lights, roll through stop signs, and not use turn signals these days. It's actually wild what the most popular traffic violations are that people commit.

If you're in a hurry somewhere, maybe you should've left earlier. If you're an impatient driver (the worst kind of driver in my opinion!), you need a reality check because we're all headed to a destination and want to get there in one piece.
Maybe if we all just took a deep breath, slowed down, had more patience, and were more aware of our surroundings on the road we wouldn't get so many traffic tickets. Just a thought!
