Unless authorized, may drivers break into the line of a funeral procession?

In Illinois, drivers are not allowed to break into the line of a funeral procession unless they have explicit authorization. This rule helps to maintain the sanctity and respect for the event, allowing the mourners and vehicles in the procession to proceed without interruption. Funeral processions are often accompanied by special traffic considerations, such as the right of way, to ensure that they can travel together safely and with dignity. Disrupting this procession can cause confusion and potential hazards, which is why the law clearly prohibits unauthorized vehicles from entering the procession. It reinforces the importance of showing respect during such an important and sensitive time for those involved.
