Ill. Pattern Jury Instr. (Criminal) 23.78
Issues In Improper Lane Usage
To sustain the charge of improper lane usage, the State must prove the following
propositions:
First Proposition: That the defendant drove a vehicle on a roadway which was divided
into two or more clearly marked lanes for traffic; and
Second Proposition: That when the defendant did so, he [(did not drive as nearly as
practicable entirely within a single lane) (moved from his lane of traffic without first ascertaining
that such movement could be made with safety)].
If you find from your consideration of all the evidence that each one of these propositions
has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt, you should find the defendant guilty.
If you find from your consideration of all the evidence that any one of these propositions
has not been proven beyond a reasonable doubt, you should find the defendant not guilty.
