dui penalties with children in vehicle
DUI
with Child in the Vehicle
In 2002, 22 percent of motor vehicle fatalities
involving children under age 15 were alcohol-related. Of the children
ages 0-14 who were killed in alcohol-related crashes during 2002, more
than half were passengers in vehicles with drivers who had been
drinking.
Illinois has established tougher penalties for
those individuals who drive under the influence with a minor child in
the car. These penalties include mandatory minimum jail and community
service sentences for the driver.
