DUI stands for driving under the influence and is a serious offense. Being convicted of a DUI can result in jail time, loss of driving privileges, and expensive fines.

In most states, a DUI is defined as operating, a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. To secure a DUI conviction, prosecutors must prove that the driver was impaired at the time of the offense, and in control of the vehicle. However, it is important to note that even if a driver is not impaired, they can still be charged with a DUI if their blood alcohol content (BAC) is above the legal limit. In the state of Illinois, the legal limit for BAC is 0.08%.
