Driving Under the Influence of Drugs in Illinois
If an individual is arrested for driving under the influence of drugs, they are under the “implied consent” statute. This means that they will be given a chemical test, with a choice of a breath test, blood test or urine test.
To obtain a conviction for driving under the influence the prosecution must prove a person drove a vehicle while under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug or the combined influence of any alcoholic beverage and drug. Drug means any substance or combination of substances other than alcohol, that could affect the nervous system, brain or muscles of a person as to impair, to an appreciable degree his or her ability to drive a vehicle in the manner that an ordinary prudent and cautious person, in full possession of his or her faculties, using reasonable care, would drive a similar vehicle under like conditions.
A person has a right to have a sample, either of his or her blood or urine re-tested by an independent laboratory.
