My wife and I were driving to my mothers house to visit, by O'Hare Airport at about 11:15am on Christmas Eve, when we were passed on the right, by a silver Ford Focus with an Illinois Senate license plate number 22. We were moving with traffic when this car repeatedly kept passing us at a high rate of speed, weaving through traffic like a maniac. It was a woman driving, holding a cup of coffee, talking on her cell-phone and she had a small child in the back seat in a car-seat.
I called Illinois State Police District 15, and the operator simply said "ok sir, we'll let our officers up ahead know". This........ was as we passed under Rt. 53.
Traffic opened up and as we passed the Des Plaines Oasis east-bound (not a trooper in sight..), here she comes again only this time, with wide open road in front of her she just floored it as she went past us. she had to be doing 85-90. She exited at the O'Hare Airport exit.
A cup of coffee, a cell phone, a small child in a car seat in the back seat and driving like a complete moron. It's ok though.....because she must have been royalty with that license plate. Traffic laws are only for us paupers.
