Roadside heat waning in Illinois
After a focus on moving violations led to a dramatic climb up Overdrive’s state inspection-intensity rankings in 2014, the Illinois State Police show signs of backing off.
November 24, 2015
Illinois’ top-10 inspection intensity ranking in 2014 was a relatively new phenomenon for the Land of Lincoln. In 2014 alone, the state climbed 15 places to No. 7. Illinois is clearly a leader in the stats for the high percentage of moving-type violations it marks on inspection reports. That emphasis coincides with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s goal in recent years to have states focus on the causes underpinning most at-fault truck accidents, as opposed to maintenance violations that show much less causation. Illinois also is not shy about giving credit where it’s due, with an above-average rate of clean inspections logged. That share has grown since 2011 by about 20 percent.
