New Illinois DUI Law Affects Repeat Offenders

A Chicago wrongful death lawyer is all too familiar with the fact that repeated DUI convictions are not uncommon in Illinois. In fact, more than 5,000 individuals have more than four DUIs in the state of Illinois. Under the current laws, individuals with multiple DUI convictions lose their driving privileges either temporarily or permanently, face heavy fines, and even experience jail time. Unfortunately, this isn't enough to keep individuals from continually driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Just recently, in fact, a Lake Bluff woman was charged with her third DUI in six months. Her actions allegedly resulted in multiple accidents including one in January where she drover her vehicle into a school bus. Although her driver's license was suspended at the time, the woman continued to drive while under the influence of alcohol. Fortunately, new Illinois DUI laws will likely keep repeat offenders like Victoria Van Esbroeck off of Illinois roadways.
Ignition Interlock Requirement
In August of 2015, Governor Bruce Rauner signed House Bill 3533 which is set to go into effect on January 1, 2016. The Bill amends the Illinois Vehicle Code and requires the use of an ignition interlock device on all vehicles that are owned by an individual who has been convicted of a second or subsequent DUI offense for a period of at least five years.
Additionally, House Bill 1446, which requires fourth time DUI offenders to use an ignition interlock for the rest of their lives, also goes into effect January 1st. Under current law, offenders with four or more DUI convictions lose their driving privileges permanently. The new measure, which is geared towards giving repeat offenders another chance, will enable certain individuals who meet specific requirements to obtain a restricted driving permit. According to Chicago wrongful death lawyer Cary J. Wintroub, "These changes are an excellent step towards making Illinois roadways safer for everyone".
