Driving under the influence of alcohol is a criminal offense in Illinois and carries severe penalties like fines, prison time, and suspension of driving privileges. The state uses a consent law; it implies that anyone in physical control of a vehicle implicitly agrees to provide a breath, blood, or urine sample to a police officer who arrests them with probable cause to test for drugs or alcohol.
The state forbids adults with .08 blood alcohol content or higher to operate a vehicle. Commercial drivers must have less than .04 BAC, and minors should have .00BAC due to the Illinois zero-tolerance policy for teenage drivers. Drivers should desist from the preceding by ensuring they don’t drink and drive, and when they do, they should seek alternative means of transportation.
