    Wink 9500ix weekly update for IL

    Jiminy christmas... we finally get a break... For a change Illinois is not included in the the weekly database updates for the 2/23/09!

    I heard city of Schaumburg took a red light camera down by Woodfield Mall, after making something like over a few million dollars on fines over a year, because of massive amount of complaints about the "no turn on red" sign confusion(?)... Kudos for Schaumburg... I can't see city of Chicago or Cook County taking any red light camera down though... Chicago's parking meter deal is atrocity!

    i thought we would never be skipped on the updates considering the explosion of new cameras around cook county. I REALLY hate these cameras but they should be at every intersection in the city of chicago. Even at enforced intersections people still plowing thru red lights for a good 5-10 secs.

    Right... it's been always that way in Chicago... kinda 'city driving' thing... people don't really follows the rule all very much... especially on weekend nights.

    Once I was following this guy, on the south bound Elston that runs diagonal, enters one of them triangular island section of the road, between the two lights at one of those 3 street intersection area that's only big enough for two car length, but stops before pulling all the way to the next red light where there were no cars... of course I was stuck behind him in the middle of the intersection as the light turned yellow then quickly to red... I don't know whether this guy fall into some deep thoughts or was deciding which way to go or just tried to have fun getting me caught on the red light camera?... Anyho I shot to the right onto the shoulder just to get out of the camera range/ intersection... I looked at the guy and it was useless to even say anything as he was one of those oblivious lost Eastern Block dude with his family busy arguing over something... well... it's been a few months and I so far haven't received a ticket in the mail....
