Illinois is an asstastic state

[imdashiz]

oooh, so if I go to Chicago I can get my balls licked?

only if you help me out with my stereo install. ill give u W7 too!

Why didn't you just pay the ticket in the first place? Unless its something serious it should have been a no court appearance required. I understand you wanted to fight the ticket originally but when you missed the first court date then you should have just payed the ticket online. BTW corn is in EVERYTHING so Illinois will continue to grow it and be happy doing so.

I don't see what you're bitching about? If you can't pay, and they made an exception...who else would they need to make exceptions to?

Also, it's pretty common to get have a warrant for your arrest if you miss a court date. Maybe the judge was frustrated, who knows.

Lastly - your license can be revoked by another state. For example, in Iowa this past summer, I was driving...errr, fast in a 25. If he had ticketed me for the speed me clocked me, IA could have revoked my license. I think the officer gave me a lower speed to avoid the hassle. It would be a long time, paperwork, etc before Idaho would revoke my license, but it could happen. Most likely it wouldn't have, because Idaho's MV laws don't read the same and in ID my license wouldn't be revoked for the same violation. Basically, what I'm getting at is: some states can and do work together like so. No idea of IL does though.

Drive through the toll and pay it online later. Done it many times in and out of Chicago.

I've done this in the SF area also. They just write down your plate and give you a form to mail in with payment.

Also for out of state revocation, they cannot do that. Some states do talk with one another by they can't revoke your license from out of state. Furthermore, your home state cannot revoke your license from what you have racked up out of state. Your insurance on the other hand, can and will screw you. I know this because I went through it. Something to the tune of lots of unpaid tickets from various states around ten years ago when I was younger and didn't quite understand the consequences.

[mrsleeve]

I fucking hate Chicago. The Sky way and the Dan Ryan can lick my balls, the only time I go that way is in the dead of night or on the week ends. Other wise I run out on 80 to 39 and then north, to avoid all the tolls and the traffic. Yeah it takes longer but its worth it. I hate driving through there, and have to do it several times a year, just to get to and from work.

Now that they are wanting to call out the national guard to help with all the crime (yeah all the gun/gang crime in the place with the most draconian gun laws, who knew???) I am going to have to go way south or up through the UP of MI to detour around that shit hole of a city. There for adding a extra day to my already 46 hours of just driving 1 way commute

Good story, thinking about getting it published?

But that is dumb of IL to put you through all that trouble for a dumb toll
