    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section, any resident of another state which is a member of the Nonresident Violator Compact of 1977, who is cited by a police officer for violating a traffic law or ordinance, shall have the option of (1) being taken without unnecessary delay before a court of jurisdiction or (2) executing a written promise to comply with the terms of the citation by signing at least one copy of a Uniform Traffic Ticket prepared by the police officer. The police officer may refuse to permit a nonresident violator to execute a written promise to comply with the terms of the citation if the nonresident violator cannot furnish satisfactory evidence of identity or if the officer has probable cause to believe the nonresident violator cited will disregard the written promise to comply with the citation.

    (b) Any person cited for violating the following provisions of this Code or a similar provision of local ordinances shall be governed by the bail provisions of the Illinois Supreme Court Rules when it is not practical or feasible to take the person before a judge to have bail set or to avoid undue delay because of the hour or circumstances: Section 3-101, Section 3-702, Sections 3-707, 3-708 or 3-710, Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Section 6-101, Section 6-104, Section 6-113, Section 6-301, Section 6-303, Section 8-115, Section 11-204, Section 11-310, Section 11-311, Section 11-312, Section 11-401, Section 11-402, Section 11-403, Section 11-404, Section 11-409, Section 11-501, Section 11-503, Section 11-504, Section 11-506, Section 11-601, when more than 30 m.p.h. over the posted limit, Section 11-1006, Section 11-1414, Section 15-102, Section 15-103, Section 15-107, Section 15-111, paragraph (f) of Section 15-112 or paragraph (j) of Section 15-301.

    (c) If the person fails to comply with the executed written promise to comply with the original terms of the citation as indicated in paragraph (a) of this Section, the court shall continue the case for a minimum of 30 days and require that a notice of the continued court date be sent to the last known address of such person. If the person does not appear or otherwise satisfy the court on or before the continued court date, the court shall enter an order of failure to appear to answer such charge. The clerk of such court shall notify the Secretary of State of the court's order within 21 days.

    (d) Upon receiving such notice, the Secretary of State shall comply with the provisions of Section 6-803 of this Code.
