U.S. Senate candidate Jim Oberweis, who cites his successful push to raise Illinois' speed limit as the top accomplishment of his first year as a state lawmaker, has been ticketed for speeding 11 times since 1988, according to public records.
Two of the speeding tickets — both for driving at least 20 miles over the limit in a 40 mph zone — were issued in 2012, the year he won a seat in the Illinois Senate.
Also in 2012, he was cited for running a red light in North Aurora and for disobeying a stop sign in Aurora. But the stop sign citation was amended to a violation involving his auto's "signal lamps and signal devices."
