Students in Illinois will soon learn a necessary ― and possibly life-saving ― skill in their driver’s education classes.
A new state law, signed by Gov. Bruce Rauner on Friday,
mandates that teachers dedicate instruction time to ensuring that
students learn what to do and what not to do when they are pulled over
by the police.
This law, according to ABC
7, is aimed at preventing teens from panicking during traffic stops and doing something that may seem like a red flag to cops.
“My
hope is that if we uniformly require that driver’s education include
the protocol and what is expected when you interact with a police
officer that things will not escalate,” Sen. Julie Morrison (D-Ill.),
who sponsored the bill, told the local station.
