(Undated) – The Illinois State Police are reminding the public about “Scott’s Law.” The plea from the ISP comes after officials investigated two separate “Scott’s Law” violations that occurred in less than a week, the most recent of which happened yesterday near Elmhurst, IL. The ISP says so far this year, they have had 17 “Scott’s Law” related crashes. The ISP is reminding the public when approaching an emergency vehicle, or any vehicle with their emergency or hazard lights activated, drivers are required to slow down and move over. Violating “Scott’s Law” could result in a fine of up to $10,000 for a first offense and if the violation results in injury to another person, the suspension of your license for a mandatory period of anywhere between six months and two years.
