First understand that the following comments are generalizations; I'm sure there are a few Illinoians that do not fit the stereotype. <br /> <br />cypriano- <br /> <br />You are exactly correct; the reason that the Illinois cars are pulled over so much is that they go so much faster than most Wisconsin drivers. Plus they lane-change rapidly, and tailgate frequently. I commute daily on I-94 from Racine to Milwaukee, so I feel somewhat qualified to comment on this. In good weather, I travel at just under 75mph (which is the 'unofficial' break-point for getting pulled over in Wisconsin), and every day I see Illinois cars whiz by be doing at least 10-15 over what I am doing; no wonder they get stopped (DUH)! <br /> <br />I also know that Illinois tourism brings over $4million to Racine each year (not counting traffic fines). So it is not the presence of Illinois people in Wisconsin we do not like, it is the Illinois attitude. The flatlanders come up to "God's Country" for a "relaxing" vacation, and yet they drive like they were on their way to work, and are so hyper no matter where you interact with them; it's like they just can't slow down. I just do not get it. I bet hypertension prescriptions sell great in northern Illinois, judging by the stress levels I see in our friends from the south. <br /> <br />So I guess what I am trying to say, is that if you want to vacation in Wisconsin, that's great, Welcome to Wisconsin; but please check the attitude at the state line.
