Which of the following describes DUI under 625 ILCS 5/11-501 a 2?

The description of DUI under 625 ILCS 5/11-501(a)(2) specifically addresses the situation where an individual is in physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any intoxicating compound, regardless of whether their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) exceeds the legal limit of .08. This means that even if the individual does not have concrete evidence of their BAC being over .08, they can still be charged with DUI if it's evident that they are impaired. This provision is designed to enhance public safety by preventing individuals who are unable to operate a vehicle safely due to impairment, regardless of the specific level of intoxication.

Other choices focus on specific conditions of DUI. One option mentions a specific BAC level, which while important, does not reflect the broader scope of this particular statute. Another option addresses DUI of an intoxicating compound, which is a narrower definition than what this statute covers. Lastly, the combination of drugs and alcohol represents a specific scenario not directly correlating with the essential aspects of this provision. By emphasizing the impairment regardless of BAC level, the statute effectively promotes proactive measures for road safety.
