Springfield — Illinois State Police Director, Brendan F. Kelly, announces the ISP will conduct statewide enforcement details over the next several weeks to aggressively enforce violations of the Move Over Law, also known as “Scott’s Law”, and all distracted driving violations.
Troopers will be on the lookout for drivers who disobey Illinois’ Move Over Law and distracted driving laws, especially the following:
All drivers must change lanes when approaching stationary emergency vehicles, including highway maintenance vehicles displaying flashing lights, and any stationary vehicle with their hazard lights activated. The law also states, if changing would be impossible or unsafe, drivers are required to proceed with due caution, reduce the speed of the vehicle and leave a safe distance until safely passing the stationary vehicle.
All drivers are prohibited from reading, sending, or receiving text messages or communication, and from browsing the internet.
