slow moving vehicle sticker
Hi, I'm not into life in the "fast lane". I'm wondering if anyone has information about a "slow moving vehicle" sticker that could be placed on my RV. Does anyone use one or have one?

The official slow moving sign we are all familiar with in the USA (triangle) is to be used on vehicles going "really" slow not just slower than the rest of the herd! I don't know if its legal to display one on any vehicle just because someone is going slower than the rest of the traffic.
It would be illegal in IL.
625 ILCS 5/12-709. Slow-moving vehicle emblem.
(a) Every animal drawn vehicle, farm tractor, implement of husbandry and special mobile equipment, when operated on a highway must display a slow-moving vehicle emblem mounted on the rear except as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section. Special mobile equipment is exempt when operated within the limits of a construction or maintenance project where traffic control devices are used in compliance with the applicable provisions of the manual and specifications adopted under Section 11-301 of the "Illinois Vehicle Code".
(paragraphs b and c talk about when SMV is obscured and description of SMV.)
(d) A slow-moving vehicle emblem is intended as a safety identification device and shall not be displayed on any vehicle nor displayed in any manner other than as described in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section. A slow-moving vehicle emblem may not be displayed in public view from a highway on an object other than a vehicle or unit described in subsection (a) of this Section or a vehicle required to display a slow-moving vehicle emblem under subsection (e) of Section 11-1426.1 of this Code. A violation of this subsection (d) is a petty offense punishable by a fine of $75.
