Welcome to the official page for my YouTube channel Let's Ride Illinois. On my channel you will find videos of people driving how you shouldn't here in the Chicago area. The moves you see people doing in these videos are moves that should not be done because:

3) If you are learning to drive and yo

Looking for a nice on this warm day? Well, here in you're in luck. All you have to do is to Churros Mi Amor . They have two locations, one in Algonquin and another in St Charles. Last night March 20,2026 we visited the Algonquin location. My order was "un churro de canela y otro lleno de fresa" (my exact words at the counter. This translates to one churro plain with cinnamon and the other with strawberry filling. Other interesting touches we've noticed were a heart mural near the entrance to the store that reads "Te amo un churro". This is a play on the Spanish language expression "Te amo un chorro" which is translated as "I love you so much". So not only are you getting a great tasting sweet treat but you are also getting great customer service and an excellent presentation.I know I also keep saying this but that Illinois is one of the top states for cuisine? you absolutely must run today to ¡Churros Mi Amor Rápido Rápido Rápido!

I'll never understand the point of driving like this. What purpose does it serve? Maybe someone can explain it to me. Shame that the City of Zion Illinois Police Department wasn't posted up in the church parking lot like they always are. Would've been a good catch. Also, if you don't understand what I'm saying in my narration. I will upload it on YouTube with the English audio track ability
Last night, Sunday March 8 2026. I caught the first 6pm or later sunset of the year here in Illinois. This marks the first day since last October that we have had daylight in the evening. This is credited of course to Daylight savings time. This gives people who work until 5 in the evening up to 3 hours of daylight after work to enjoy all the beautiful nature that has to offer. that Illinois has the best in the US? to Half Day Forest Preserve ↗️ to see what I mean
Over the past few months it has come to my attention that is on the rise in the Chicago area. It's almost as bad as it was if not worse than the pre pandemic levels, especially on . Yes, the response by the driver in front of me was also irrational but this is what can result by driving slow. Yes, slow driving in contrary to popular belief is also and is also dangerous. that there are laws against driving excessively (more than 10% ) under the speed limit? I will post the laws below. Hopefully the Illinois Department of Transportation City of Zion Illinois Police Department and the Lake County IL Sheriff's Office can all come up with a solution to combat the growing safety issues along this route.

Heyyy, today is and if you find yourself around Freeport... ↗️ to Fiesta Cancun Authentic Mexican Restaurant for a great meal. that they are related to the Las Palmas Mexican Restaurant in Dixon IL? This is the far superior of the locations as the presentation is much better as well as how prepared the tacos were. It's everything you would expect of an authentic taco and is an ideal place to go for taco Tuesday.

are continuing their in 2026. that this kind of driving like what you see in this video is the reason why there are so many rollover ? The latest Illinois Department of Transportation crash data is included.
I can ride a bike faster than the speed this driver was going and eventually slowed to. In all seriousness if you are driving this slow you probably shouldn't be driving at all.
that driving slow is also illegal and dangerous? Here's what the Illinois laws say about it
(625 ILCS 5/11-606) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 11-606)
Sec. 11-606. Minimum speed regulation. (a) No person shall drive a motor vehicle at such a slow speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic except when reduced speed is necessary for safe operation of his vehicle or in compliance with law.
(625 ILCS 5/11-703) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 11-703)
Sec. 11-703. Overtaking a vehicle on the left. The following rules govern the overtaking and passing of vehicles proceeding in the same direction, subject to those limitations, exceptions, and special rules otherwise stated in this Chapter:
(b) Except when overtaking and passing on the right
is permitted, the driver of an overtaken vehicle shall give way to the right in favor of the overtaking vehicle on audible signal and shall not increase the speed of his vehicle until completely passed by the overtaking vehicle.
Oop! Looks like the last few videos I've released on this topic are finally starting to resonate. Today, a was pulled over by the Illinois State Police Troop 3 for violating the lane restrictions (you can tell by how he's stopped on the left shoulder). Now we just need the Illinois Secretary of State to increase penalties for being caught, then we will see more enforcement and eventually this will stop and things will go back to how they were prior to 2014. Then we can all get to our adventures and destinations with minimal delay and in peace
