Question

Amy was convicted of violating subsection (a) of 625 ILCS 5/11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code by driving under the influence of alcohol. This is her second violation of subsection (a). During this second violation, Amy was transporting her 15-year-old daughter. Is Amy guilty of the offense of aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination thereof?

Answer 1

Amy is guilty of the offense of aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination thereof.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy is guilty of the offense of aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination thereof. According to subsection (a) of 625 ILCS 5/11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, driving under the influence of alcohol is a violation. Since this is Amy's second violation of subsection (a), it becomes aggravated driving under the influence, which is a more serious offense. The fact that Amy was transporting her 15-year-old daughter during the second violation does not affect the charge of aggravated driving under the influence, as the offense is defined based on the act of driving under the influence, not the presence of a passenger.
