DUI/Traffic Offenses
Most people know that you can get a DUI if your blood alcohol concentration, or BAC, is over the Illinois .08 legal limit. However, you can get arrested for DUI in Illinois even if your BAC is under .08 but your driving was impaired. If you were weaving, swerving, speeding, driving too slow, or otherwise driving in a way that suggests impairment, you can be arrested and charged with driving under the influence.
You may be charged with DUI in Illinois when you:
- Drive in a way that demonstrates impairment — with any amount of alcohol in your body
- Drive with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or above if you’re 21 or older
- Drive with any amount of alcohol in your body if you’re under 21
- Driving under the influence of drugs, including prescription drugs or medical marijuana
