Update on the IL driver nailed three times in WI
The guy is a menace on the road! :wow:

Illinois Man Gets 4 Tickets On I-90 In 3 Hours

POSTED: 12:04 pm EST January 13, 2005

An Illinois man and his girlfriend managed to rack up nearly $1,400 in speeding tickets on a trip through Wisconsin -- all within three hours.

Piotr Pac, 21, of Prospect Heights was pulled over on Interstate 90 in Rock County New Year's Day. The State Patrol said he was going 100 mph.

About an hour later, he was stopped in Columbia County for going 84 mph.

Then, 30 minutes later he was clocked and ticketed for going 77 mph in Sauk County.

And finally, while Pac was napping and his 18-year-old girlfriend was at the wheel, she was stopped for going 108 mph on I-90 in Dane County.

(snip update)

And apparently, the Wisconsin tickets weren't enough.

Court records show that one day after the shoe store employee zipped through Wisconsin, Palatine police pulled him over for going 71 mph in a 35 mph zone.

Pac said he knows speeding is dangerous, but insisted he's a good driver. He said he's been driving since he was nine years old in Poland.

Traffic tickets are nothing new for Pac. Records show that in Cook County, Ill., alone, he's been nailed for speeding, running stop signs and other violations 21 times since 2001.

1. I wonder why he
isn't arrested and his license should be revolked. He is a terrorist on the road! How dare he think it's okay to put others in danger!

2. According to the article...
His Mom took away his keys, and drives him to work.

It is puzzling as to why the guy still has his license.

3. Puzzling? No it isn't. He's from IL. They'll let anyone have a license
All you have to do is be able to breath or drive like an asshole or show up for the free beer at the DMV or something or other.

It's like an infection for the GOP.
Just can't get it out of their system.

8. I think you can get arrested for "reckless" driving, meaning about
Edited on Fri Jan-14-05 08:17 PM by barb162
60 or 70 miles or so over the limit. But then the state has to feed them when they are in jail.

If he is a shoe salesperson, the fines will eat up all of his salary.
