I remember once getting pulled over for speeding through Nebraska highways and I was in a panic because I was in a rental car headed to the airport, where I'd need my ID. The cop thought I was crazy when I went into a rambling monologue explaining why I needed to have my license so I could fly home. When I finally calmed down, he advised me that taking the license and "driving on a ticket" was unique to Illinois. It's about time Illinois catches up with the rest of the country.
