this Code, the Secretary of State shall either rescind or
continue an order of revocation or shall substitute an order
of suspension; or, good cause appearing therefor, rescind,
continue, change, or extend the order of suspension. If the
Secretary of State does not rescind the order, the Secretary
may upon application, to relieve undue hardship (as defined by
the rules of the Secretary of State), issue a restricted
driving permit granting the privilege of driving a motor
vehicle between the petitioner's residence and petitioner's
place of employment or within the scope of the petitioner's
employment-related duties, or to allow the petitioner to
transport himself or herself, or a family member of the
petitioner's household to a medical facility, to receive
necessary medical care, to allow the petitioner to transport
himself or herself to and from alcohol or drug remedial or
rehabilitative activity recommended by a licensed service
provider, or to allow the petitioner to transport himself or
herself or a family member of the petitioner's household to
classes, as a student, at an accredited educational
institution, or to allow the petitioner to transport children,
elderly persons, or persons with disabilities who do not hold
driving privileges and are living in the petitioner's
household to and from daycare. The petitioner must demonstrate
that no alternative means of transportation is reasonably
available and that the petitioner will not endanger the public

SB3164 Enrolled - 14 - LRB104 18718 LNS 32161 b
safety or welfare.
(A) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating
Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or
Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal
Code of 2012, where the use of alcohol or other drugs is
recited as an element of the offense, or a similar
out-of-state offense, or a combination of these offenses,
arising out of separate occurrences, that person, if
issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate a
vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition
interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
(B) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
suspended 2 or more times due to any combination of:
(i) a single conviction of violating Section
11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense or Section
9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code
of 2012, where the use of alcohol or other drugs is
recited as an element of the offense, or a similar
out-of-state offense; or
(ii) a statutory summary suspension or revocation
under Section 11-501.1; or
(iii) a suspension under Section 6-203.1;
arising out of separate occurrences; that person, if

SB3164 Enrolled - 15 - LRB104 18718 LNS 32161 b
issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate a
vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition
interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
(B-5) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
suspended due to a conviction for a violation of
subparagraph (C) or (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d)
of Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a
local ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, that
person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not
operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an
ignition interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
(C) The person issued a permit conditioned upon the
use of an ignition interlock device must pay to the
Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an amount not
to exceed $30 per month. The Secretary shall establish by
rule the amount and the procedures, terms, and conditions
relating to these fees.
(D) If the restricted driving permit is issued for
employment purposes, then the prohibition against
operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an
ignition interlock device does not apply to the operation
of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by that
person's employer when used solely for employment
purposes. For any person who, within a 5-year period, is
convicted of a second or subsequent offense under Section
11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a local

SB3164 Enrolled - 16 - LRB104 18718 LNS 32161 b
ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, this employment
exemption does not apply until either a one-year period
has elapsed during which that person had his or her
driving privileges revoked or a one-year period has
elapsed during which that person had a restricted driving
permit which required the use of an ignition interlock
device on every motor vehicle owned or operated by that
person.
(E) In each case the Secretary may issue a restricted
driving permit for a period deemed appropriate, except
that all permits shall expire no later than 2 years from
the date of issuance. A restricted driving permit issued
under this Section shall be subject to cancellation,
revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in
like manner and for like cause as a driver's license
issued under this Code may be cancelled, revoked, or
suspended; except that a conviction upon one or more
offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the
movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for
the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a
restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as
a condition to the issuance of a restricted driving
permit, require the applicant to participate in a
designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program. The
Secretary of State is authorized to cancel a restricted
driving permit if the permit holder does not successfully

SB3164 Enrolled - 17 - LRB104 18718 LNS 32161 b
complete the program.
(F) A person subject to the provisions of paragraph 4
of subsection (b) of Section 6-208 of this Code may make
application for a restricted driving permit at a hearing
conducted under Section 2-118 of this Code after the
expiration of 5 years from the effective date of the most
recent revocation or after 5 years from the date of
release from a period of imprisonment resulting from a
conviction of the most recent offense, whichever is later,
provided the person, in addition to all other requirements
of the Secretary, shows by clear and convincing evidence:
(i) a minimum of 3 years of uninterrupted
abstinence from alcohol and the unlawful use or
consumption of cannabis under the Cannabis Control
Act, a controlled substance under the Illinois
Controlled Substances Act, an intoxicating compound

rehabilitative treatment and involvement in any
ongoing rehabilitative activity that may be
recommended by a properly licensed service provider
according to an assessment of the person's alcohol or
drug use under Section 11-501.01 of this Code.
In determining whether an applicant is eligible for a

SB3164 Enrolled - 18 - LRB104 18718 LNS 32161 b
restricted driving permit under this subparagraph (F), the
Secretary may consider any relevant evidence, including,
but not limited to, testimony, affidavits, records, and
the results of regular alcohol or drug tests. Persons
subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 of subsection (b)
of Section 6-208 of this Code and who have been convicted
of more than one violation of paragraph (3), paragraph
(4), or paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of Section 11-501
of this Code shall not be eligible to apply for a
restricted driving permit under this subparagraph (F).
A restricted driving permit issued under this
subparagraph (F) shall provide that the holder may only
operate motor vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock
device as required under paragraph (2) of subsection (c)
of Section 6-205 of this Code and subparagraph (A) of
paragraph 3 of subsection (c) of this Section. The
Secretary may revoke a restricted driving permit or amend
the conditions of a restricted driving permit issued under
this subparagraph (F) if the holder operates a vehicle
that is not equipped with an ignition interlock device, or
for any other reason authorized under this Code.
A restricted driving permit issued under this
subparagraph (F) shall be revoked, and the holder barred
from applying for or being issued a restricted driving
permit in the future, if the holder is convicted of a
violation of Section 11-501 of this Code, a similar

SB3164 Enrolled - 19 - LRB104 18718 LNS 32161 b
provision of a local ordinance, or a similar offense in
another state.
(c-3) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of
subsection (a), reports received by the Secretary of State
under this Section shall, except during the actual time the
suspension is in effect, be privileged information and for use
only by the courts, police officers, prosecuting authorities,
the driver licensing administrator of any other state, the
Secretary of State, or the parent or legal guardian of a driver
under the age of 18. However, beginning January 1, 2008, if the
person is a CDL holder, the suspension shall also be made
available to the driver licensing administrator of any other
state, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the affected
driver or motor carrier or prospective motor carrier upon
request.
(c-4) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of
subsection (a), the Secretary of State shall notify the person
by mail that his or her driving privileges and driver's
license will be suspended one month after the date of the
mailing of the notice.
(c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the
reissuance of a driver's license or permit to an applicant
whose driver's license or permit has been suspended before he
or she reached the age of 21 years pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Section, require the applicant to
participate in a driver remedial education course and be

SB3164 Enrolled - 20 - LRB104 18718 LNS 32161 b
retested under Section 6-109 of this Code.

Secretary of State may rescind or withhold the entry of the
order of suspension or revocation, as the case may be,
provided that a certified copy of a stay order of a court is
filed with the Secretary of State. If the conviction is
affirmed on appeal, the date of the conviction shall relate
back to the time the original judgment of conviction was
entered and the 6-month limitation prescribed shall not apply.
(c) 1. Upon suspending or revoking the driver's license or
permit of any person as authorized in this Section, the
Secretary of State shall immediately notify the person in

properly completed, the appropriate fee received, and a permit

operating a commercial vehicle in connection with the driver's
regular occupation. All other driving privileges shall be
suspended by the Secretary of State. Any driver prior to
operating a vehicle for occupational purposes only must submit
the affidavit on forms to be provided by the Secretary of State
setting forth the facts of the person's occupation. The
affidavit shall also state the number of offenses committed
while operating a vehicle in connection with the driver's
regular occupation. The affidavit shall be accompanied by the
driver's license. Upon receipt of a properly completed
affidavit, the Secretary of State shall issue the driver a
permit to operate a vehicle in connection with the driver's
regular occupation only. Unless the permit is issued by the
Secretary of State prior to the date of suspension, the
privilege to drive any motor vehicle shall be suspended as set
forth in the notice that was mailed under this Section. If an
affidavit is received subsequent to the effective date of this
suspension, a permit may be issued for the remainder of the

SB3164 Enrolled - 32 - LRB104 18718 LNS 32161 b
suspension period.
The provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply to any

revoked without further rights.
3. At the conclusion of a hearing under Section 2-118 of
this Code, the Secretary of State shall either rescind or
continue an order of revocation or shall substitute an order
of suspension; or, good cause appearing therefor, rescind,
continue, change, or extend the order of suspension. If the
Secretary of State does not rescind the order, the Secretary
may upon application, to relieve undue hardship (as defined by
the rules of the Secretary of State), issue a restricted
driving permit granting the privilege of driving a motor
vehicle between the petitioner's residence and petitioner's
place of employment or within the scope of the petitioner's
employment-related duties, or to allow the petitioner to
transport himself or herself, or a family member of the
petitioner's household to a medical facility, to receive
necessary medical care, to allow the petitioner to transport
himself or herself to and from alcohol or drug remedial or
rehabilitative activity recommended by a licensed service
provider, or to allow the petitioner to transport himself or

SB3164 Enrolled - 33 - LRB104 18718 LNS 32161 b
herself or a family member of the petitioner's household to
classes, as a student, at an accredited educational
institution, or to allow the petitioner to transport children,
elderly persons, or persons with disabilities who do not hold
driving privileges and are living in the petitioner's
household to and from daycare. The petitioner must demonstrate
that no alternative means of transportation is reasonably
available and that the petitioner will not endanger the public
safety or welfare.
(A) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating
Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or
Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal
Code of 2012, where the use of alcohol or other drugs is
recited as an element of the offense, or a similar
out-of-state offense, or a combination of these offenses,
arising out of separate occurrences, that person, if
issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate a
vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition
interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
(B) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
suspended 2 or more times due to any combination of:
(i) a single conviction of violating Section
11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense or Section

SB3164 Enrolled - 34 - LRB104 18718 LNS 32161 b
9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code
of 2012, where the use of alcohol or other drugs is
recited as an element of the offense, or a similar
out-of-state offense; or
(ii) a statutory summary suspension or revocation
under Section 11-501.1; or
(iii) a suspension under Section 6-203.1;
arising out of separate occurrences; that person, if
issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate a
vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition
interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
(B-5) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
suspended due to a conviction for a violation of
subparagraph (C) or (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d)
of Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a
local ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, that
person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not
operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an
ignition interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
(C) The person issued a permit conditioned upon the
use of an ignition interlock device must pay to the
Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an amount not
to exceed $30 per month. The Secretary shall establish by
rule the amount and the procedures, terms, and conditions
relating to these fees.
(D) If the restricted driving permit is issued for

SB3164 Enrolled - 35 - LRB104 18718 LNS 32161 b
employment purposes, then the prohibition against
operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an
ignition interlock device does not apply to the operation
of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by that
person's employer when used solely for employment
purposes. For any person who, within a 5-year period, is
convicted of a second or subsequent offense under Section
11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a local
ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, this employment
exemption does not apply until either a one-year period
has elapsed during which that person had his or her
driving privileges revoked or a one-year period has
elapsed during which that person had a restricted driving
permit which required the use of an ignition interlock
device on every motor vehicle owned or operated by that
person.
(E) In each case the Secretary may issue a restricted
driving permit for a period deemed appropriate, except
that all permits shall expire no later than 2 years from
the date of issuance. A restricted driving permit issued
under this Section shall be subject to cancellation,
revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in
like manner and for like cause as a driver's license
issued under this Code may be cancelled, revoked, or
suspended; except that a conviction upon one or more
offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the

SB3164 Enrolled - 36 - LRB104 18718 LNS 32161 b
movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for
the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a
restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as
a condition to the issuance of a restricted driving
permit, require the applicant to participate in a
designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program. The
Secretary of State is authorized to cancel a restricted
driving permit if the permit holder does not successfully
complete the program.
(F) A person subject to the provisions of paragraph 4
of subsection (b) of Section 6-208 of this Code may make
application for a restricted driving permit at a hearing
conducted under Section 2-118 of this Code after the
expiration of 5 years from the effective date of the most
recent revocation or after 5 years from the date of
release from a period of imprisonment resulting from a
conviction of the most recent offense, whichever is later,
provided the person, in addition to all other requirements
of the Secretary, shows by clear and convincing evidence:
(i) a minimum of 3 years of uninterrupted
abstinence from alcohol and the unlawful use or
consumption of cannabis under the Cannabis Control
Act, a controlled substance under the Illinois
Controlled Substances Act, an intoxicating compound

rehabilitative treatment and involvement in any
ongoing rehabilitative activity that may be
recommended by a properly licensed service provider
according to an assessment of the person's alcohol or
drug use under Section 11-501.01 of this Code.
In determining whether an applicant is eligible for a
restricted driving permit under this subparagraph (F), the
Secretary may consider any relevant evidence, including,
but not limited to, testimony, affidavits, records, and
the results of regular alcohol or drug tests. Persons
subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 of subsection (b)
of Section 6-208 of this Code and who have been convicted
of more than one violation of paragraph (3), paragraph
(4), or paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of Section 11-501
of this Code shall not be eligible to apply for a
restricted driving permit under this subparagraph (F).
A restricted driving permit issued under this
subparagraph (F) shall provide that the holder may only
operate motor vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock
device as required under paragraph (2) of subsection (c)
of Section 6-205 of this Code and subparagraph (A) of
paragraph 3 of subsection (c) of this Section. The
Secretary may revoke a restricted driving permit or amend
the conditions of a restricted driving permit issued under

SB3164 Enrolled - 38 - LRB104 18718 LNS 32161 b
this subparagraph (F) if the holder operates a vehicle
that is not equipped with an ignition interlock device, or
for any other reason authorized under this Code.
A restricted driving permit issued under this
subparagraph (F) shall be revoked, and the holder barred
from applying for or being issued a restricted driving
permit in the future, if the holder is convicted of a
violation of Section 11-501 of this Code, a similar
provision of a local ordinance, or a similar offense in
another state.
(c-3) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of
subsection (a), reports received by the Secretary of State
under this Section shall, except during the actual time the
suspension is in effect, be privileged information and for use
only by the courts, police officers, prosecuting authorities,
the driver licensing administrator of any other state, the
Secretary of State, or the parent or legal guardian of a driver
under the age of 18. However, beginning January 1, 2008, if the
person is a CDL holder, the suspension shall also be made
available to the driver licensing administrator of any other
state, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the affected
driver or motor carrier or prospective motor carrier upon
request.
(c-4) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of
subsection (a), the Secretary of State shall notify the person
by mail that his or her driving privileges and driver's

SB3164 Enrolled - 39 - LRB104 18718 LNS 32161 b
license will be suspended one month after the date of the
mailing of the notice.
(c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the
reissuance of a driver's license or permit to an applicant
whose driver's license or permit has been suspended before he
or she reached the age of 21 years pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Section, require the applicant to
participate in a driver remedial education course and be
retested under Section 6-109 of this Code.
(d) This Section is subject to the provisions of the
Driver License Compact.
(e) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted
driving permit to a person under the age of 16 years whose
driving privileges have been suspended or revoked under any
provisions of this Code.
(f) In accordance with 49 CFR 384, the Secretary of State
may not issue a restricted driving permit for the operation of

subsection (c), vehicular traffic facing a steady red
arrow signal shall not enter the intersection to make the
movement indicated by the arrow and, unless entering the
intersection to make a movement permitted by another
signal, shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if
there is no such stop line, before entering the crosswalk
on the near side of the intersection, or if there is no
such crosswalk, then before entering the intersection, and
shall remain standing until an indication permitting the
movement indicated by such red arrow is shown.
3. Except when a sign is in place prohibiting a turn
and local authorities by ordinance or State authorities by
rule or regulation prohibit any such turn, vehicular
traffic facing any steady red signal may cautiously enter
the intersection to turn right, or to turn left from a
one-way street into a one-way street, after stopping as
required by paragraph 1 or paragraph 2 of this subsection.
After stopping, the driver shall yield the right of way to
any vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another
roadway so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard
during the time such driver is moving across or within the
intersection or junction or roadways. Such driver shall
yield the right of way to pedestrians or bicyclists within
the intersection or an adjacent crosswalk.
3.5. After stopping as required by paragraph 1 or 2 of
this subsection (c), the The driver of a motorcycle or

bicycle, facing a steady red signal which fails to change
to a green signal within a reasonable period of time not
less than 120 seconds because of a signal malfunction or
because the signal has failed to detect the arrival of the
motorcycle or bicycle due to the vehicle's size or weight,
shall have the right to proceed, after yielding the right
of way to oncoming traffic facing a green signal, subject
to the rules applicable after making a stop at a stop sign
as required by Section 11-1204 of this Code.
4. Unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian-control
signal as provided in Section 11-307, pedestrians facing a
steady circular red or red arrow signal alone shall not
enter the roadway.
(d) In the event an official traffic control signal is
erected and maintained at a place other than an intersection,
the provisions of this Section shall be applicable except as
to provisions which by their nature can have no application.
Any stop required shall be at a traffic sign or a marking on
the pavement indicating where the stop shall be made or, in the
absence of such sign or marking, the stop shall be made at the
signal.
(e) The motorman of any streetcar shall obey the above

(1) the driver of every other vehicle shall yield the
right-of-way and shall immediately drive to a position
parallel to, and as close as possible to, the right-hand
edge or curb of the highway clear of any intersection and
shall, if necessary to permit the safe passage of the

(c) Upon approaching a stationary authorized emergency
vehicle or emergency scene, when the stationary authorized
emergency vehicle is giving a visual signal by displaying
oscillating, rotating, or flashing lights as authorized under
Section 12-215 of this Code, a person who drives an
approaching vehicle shall:
(1) proceeding with due caution, yield the
right-of-way by making a lane change into a lane not
adjacent to that of the authorized emergency vehicle, if
possible with due regard to safety and traffic conditions,
if on a highway having at least 4 lanes with not less than
2 lanes proceeding in the same direction as the
approaching vehicle and reduce the speed of the vehicle to
a speed that is reasonable and proper with regard to
traffic conditions and the use of the highway to avoid a
collision and leaving a safe distance until safely past
the stationary emergency vehicle; or
(2) if changing lanes would be impossible or unsafe,
proceeding with due caution, reduce the speed of the
vehicle to a speed that is reasonable and proper with
regard to traffic conditions and the use of the highway to

commits a business offense punishable by a fine of not less
than $250 or more than $10,000 for a first violation, and a
fine of not less than $750 or more than $10,000 for a second or
subsequent violation. It is a factor in aggravation if the
person committed the offense while in violation of Section

State treasury. Subject to appropriation by the General
Assembly and approval by the Director, the Director of the
State Police shall use all moneys in the Scott's Law Fund in
the Department's discretion to fund the production of
materials to educate drivers on approaching stationary
authorized emergency vehicles, to hire off-duty Illinois State
Police for enforcement of this Section, and for other law
enforcement purposes the Director deems necessary in these
efforts.
(j) For violations of this Section issued by a county or
municipal police officer, the assessment shall be deposited
into the county's or municipality's Transportation Safety
Highway Hire-back Fund. The county shall use the moneys in its
Transportation Safety Highway Hire-back Fund to hire off-duty

signal, reduce the speed of the vehicle, proceed with due
caution, maintain a safe speed for road conditions, be
prepared to stop, and leave a safe distance until safely
passed the stationary emergency vehicle.
As used in this subsection (c) and subsection (c-5),
"authorized emergency vehicle" includes any vehicle authorized
by law to be equipped with oscillating, rotating, or flashing
lights under Section 12-215 of this Code, while the owner or
operator of the vehicle is engaged in his or her official
duties. As used in this subsection (c) and subsection (c-10),
"emergency scene" means a location where a stationary
authorized emergency vehicle as defined by herein is present
and has activated its oscillating, rotating, or flashing
lights.
(c-5) The driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way
to any authorized emergency vehicle obviously and actually
engaged in work upon a highway, whether stationary or not, and
displaying flashing lights as provided in Section 12-215 of
this Act.

by a fine of not less than $250 or more than $10,000 for a
first violation, and a fine of not less than $750 or more than
$10,000 for a second or subsequent violation. It is a factor in
aggravation if the person committed the offense while in
violation of Section 11-501, 12-610.1, or 12-610.2 of this
Code. Imposition of the penalties authorized by this
subsection (d) for a violation of subsection (c), (c-5), or
(c-10) of this Section that results in the death of another
person does not preclude imposition of appropriate additional
civil or criminal penalties. A person who violates subsection
(c), (c-5), or (c-10) and the violation results in damage to
another vehicle commits a Class A misdemeanor. A person who
violates subsection (c), (c-5), or (c-10) and the violation
results in the injury or death of another person commits a
Class 4 felony.
(e) If a violation of subsection (c), (c-5), or (c-10), of

driving privileges shall be suspended for a fixed period of
not less than 90 days and not more than one year.
(f) If a violation of subsection (c), (c-5), or (c-10), of
this Section results in injury to another person, in addition
to any other penalty imposed, the person's driving privileges
shall be suspended for a fixed period of not less than 180 days
and not more than 2 years, except as provided under paragraph
(3) of subsection (a) of Section 6-205.

under paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of Section 6-205.
(h) The Secretary of State shall, upon receiving a record
of a judgment entered against a person under subsection (c),
(c-5), or (c-10), of this Section:
(1) suspend the person's driving privileges for the
mandatory period; or
(2) extend the period of an existing suspension by the
appropriate mandatory period.
(i) The Scott's Law Fund shall be a special fund in the
State treasury. Subject to appropriation by the General
Assembly and approval by the Director, the Director of the
State Police shall use all moneys in the Scott's Law Fund in
the Department's discretion to fund the production of
materials to educate drivers on approaching stationary

SB3164 Enrolled - 67 - LRB104 18718 LNS 32161 b

Hire-back Fund to purchase equipment for county law
enforcement and fund the production of materials to educate
drivers on construction zone safe driving habits and
approaching stationary authorized emergency vehicles.
(k) In addition to other penalties imposed by this
Section, the court may order a person convicted of a violation
of subsection (c), (c-5), or (c-10), to perform community
service as determined by the court.

stop such car clear of any intersection and keep it in such
position until the authorized emergency vehicle has
passed, unless otherwise directed by a police officer.
(b) This Section shall not operate to relieve the driver
of an authorized emergency vehicle from the duty to drive with
due regard for the safety of all persons using the highway.
(c) Upon approaching a stationary authorized emergency
vehicle or emergency scene, when the stationary authorized
emergency vehicle is giving a visual signal by displaying
oscillating, rotating, or flashing lights as authorized under
Section 12-215 of this Code, a person who drives an
approaching vehicle shall:

SB3164 Enrolled - 69 - LRB104 18718 LNS 32161 b
(1) proceeding with due caution, yield the
right-of-way by making a lane change into a lane not
adjacent to that of the authorized emergency vehicle, if
possible with due regard to safety and traffic conditions,
if on a highway having at least 4 lanes with not less than
2 lanes proceeding in the same direction as the
approaching vehicle and reduce the speed of the vehicle to
a speed that is reasonable and proper with regard to
traffic conditions and the use of the highway to avoid a
collision and leaving a safe distance until safely past
the stationary emergency vehicle; or
(2) if changing lanes would be impossible or unsafe,
proceeding with due caution, reduce the speed of the
vehicle to a speed that is reasonable and proper with
regard to traffic conditions and the use of the highway to
avoid a collision, maintaining a safe speed for road
conditions and leaving a safe distance until safely past
the stationary emergency vehicles.
The visual signal specified under this subsection (c)
given by a stationary authorized emergency vehicle is an
indication to drivers of approaching vehicles that a hazardous
condition is present when circumstances are not immediately
clear. Drivers of vehicles approaching a stationary authorized
emergency vehicle in any lane shall heed the warning of the
signal, reduce the speed of the vehicle, proceed with due
caution, maintain a safe speed for road conditions, be

SB3164 Enrolled - 70 - LRB104 18718 LNS 32161 b

lights under Section 12-215 of this Code, while the owner or
operator of the vehicle is engaged in his or her official
duties. As used in this subsection (c) and subsection (c-10),
"emergency scene" means a location where a stationary
authorized emergency vehicle as defined by herein is present
and has activated its oscillating, rotating, or flashing
lights.
(c-5) The driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way
to any authorized emergency vehicle obviously and actually
engaged in work upon a highway, whether stationary or not, and
displaying flashing lights as provided in Section 12-215 of
this Act.

aggravation if the person committed the offense while in
violation of Section 11-501, 12-610.1, or 12-610.2 of this
Code. Imposition of the penalties authorized by this
subsection (d) for a violation of subsection (c), (c-5), or

(a) When operated upon any highway in this State, every
motorcycle shall at all times exhibit at least one lighted
lamp, showing a white light, including that emitted by a high
intensity discharge (HID) lamp, or a light of a yellow or amber
tint visible for at least 500 feet in the direction the

lamp, a motorcycle may be equipped with and use a means of
modulating the upper beam of the head lamp between high and a
lower brightness. No such head lamp shall be modulated, except
to otherwise comply with this Code, during times when lighted
lamps are required for other motor vehicles.
(b) All other motor vehicles shall exhibit at least 2
lighted head lamps, with at least one on each side of the
frontmost of the vehicle, which satisfy United States

amber tint, during the period from sunset to sunrise, at times
when rain, snow, fog, or other atmospheric conditions require
the use of windshield wipers, and at any other times when, due
to insufficient light or unfavorable atmospheric conditions,
persons and vehicles on the highway are not clearly
discernible at a distance of 1000 feet. Parking lamps may be
used in addition to but not in lieu of such head lamps. Every
motor vehicle, trailer, or semi-trailer shall also exhibit at
