The deputies cited Rob for DUI, improper lane usage, operating an uninsured motor vehicle, driving with an expired driver’s license, and illegal transportation of alcohol. The sheriff’s office did not arrest the woman and did not release any additional information.
In Illinois, the law frowns against drivers who drive while intoxicated, thereby putting themselves and other road users in danger. The state has an implied law that states that a motorist who is in physical control of a car implicitly agrees to provide a breath, blood, or urine sample to a police officer with probable cause to test for alcohol, drugs, or other intoxicating compounds.
Like most states in the US, Illinois DUI laws do not allow drivers to have a blood alcohol content level of .08percent. Commercial drivers must have below .04, and the state has a zero-tolerance policy of .00 for teenage drivers except for those coming from a religious ceremony or on prescription medication.
Those involved in DUI-related crashes should hire a drunk driving attorney for legal advice and representation.
