5    does not apply until either a one-year period has elapsed
6    during which that person had his or her driving privileges
7    revoked or a one-year period has elapsed during which that
8    person had a restricted driving permit which required the

16    and suspension by the Secretary of State in like manner and
17    for like cause as a driver's license issued under this Code
18    may be cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a
19    conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
20    ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be
21    deemed sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension, or
22    cancellation of a restricted driving permit. The Secretary
23    of State may, as a condition to the issuance of a
24    restricted driving permit, require the applicant to
25    participate in a designated driver remedial or
26    rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State is

4    of subsection (b) of Section 6-208 of this Code may make
5    application for a restricted driving permit at a hearing

7    expiration of 5 years from the effective date of the most
8    recent revocation or after 5 years from the date of release
9    from a period of imprisonment resulting from a conviction
10    of the most recent offense, whichever is later, provided
11    the person, in addition to all other requirements of the
12    Secretary, shows by clear and convincing evidence:
13            (i) a minimum of 3 years of uninterrupted
14        abstinence from alcohol and the unlawful use or

22        rehabilitative treatment and involvement in any
23        ongoing rehabilitative activity that may be
24        recommended by a properly licensed service provider
25        according to an assessment of the person's alcohol or
26        drug use under Section 11-501.01 of this Code.

17    Sec. 11-904. Vehicle entering stop or yield intersection.
18    (a) Preferential right-of-way at an intersection may be
19indicated by stop or yield signs as authorized in Section
2011-302 of this Chapter.
21    (b) Except when directed to proceed by a police officer or
22traffic-control signal, every driver of a vehicle approaching a
23stop intersection indicated by a stop sign shall stop at a
24clearly marked stop line, but if none, before entering the
25crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or if none,

 

 

HB4802- 39 -LRB101 20562 HEP 70181 b

1then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the
2driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting
3roadway before entering the intersection. After having
4stopped, the driver shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle
5which has entered the intersection from another roadway or
6which is approaching so closely on the roadway as to constitute
7an immediate hazard during the time when the driver is moving
8across or within the intersection, but said driver having so
9yielded may proceed at such time as a safe interval occurs.
10    (c) The driver of a vehicle approaching a yield sign shall
11in obedience to such sign slow down to a speed reasonable for
12the existing conditions and, if required for safety to stop,
13shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, before
14entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or
15if none, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway
16where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the
17intersecting roadway. After slowing or stopping, the driver
18shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle in the intersection
19or approaching on another roadway so closely as to constitute
20an immediate hazard during the time such driver is moving
21across or within the intersection.
22    (d) If a driver is involved in a collision at an
23intersection or interferes with the movement of other vehicles
24after driving past a yield right-of-way sign, such collision or
25interference shall be deemed prima facie evidence of the
26driver's failure to yield right-of-way.
