Does anyone know the percentage of actual traffic stops made by the Elmhurst Police Department during a given week? What percentage of that number are actual individuals without driver’s licenses or the are suspended. Funny fact as given here is that all were stopped for a valid reason, driving without lights, driving on the shoulder of the road, speeding, etc. Another funny fact, is most of the offenders were issued a ticket for driving without insurance. I would think people would be happy to get these individuals off the street.
The Patch does a great job of trying to incite its readers, “No License, Suspended? You May Get Pulled Over In Elmhurst.” Again, each individual listed here were stopped and ticketed for a violation first AND THEN were found not to have proper driving privileges. Remember, driving is a privilege not a right, which is why they can take away your license.

I agree with you but I don't know if we as just citizen's can do anything to stop that practice. IRead More wish that each cyclist had to have a license, and that it was enforced by laws and police, on the bike so that people could report occurrences and have the person receive a ticket just like a person driving an auto. That would make sense.

A couple of years ago, Villa Park installed "State Law- must stop for pedestrians" signsRead More on the roadways where the Great Western and Prairie Paths cross. I saw a big increase in path users barreling across the streets with no regard for the stop signs on the path.

I was really hoping that the Elmhurst Police would sound in on this info-I do understand kids willRead More be kids, but if one of them is hurt, that adult driver will need to live with that for the rest of their life-so let's come up with a solution for both bicyclist and cars to be in harmony. I really think that a step up in enforcement in the bicycle laws would help-just like the drunk driving laws-believe me the bicycle laws are just as important.
