Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White is reminding motorists not to drive under the influence of alcohol or cannabis and not to drive distracted during the holiday season.

“I’m urging motorists to drive safely and avoid driving impaired, which causes death and injury on our roadways every year during the holidays,” White said. “Let’s keep the roads safe by driving sober and not driving distracted.”

Beginning January. 1, 2020, recreational marijuana will be legal in Illinois. However, driving high is not.
“If you are pulled over for driving high, you will get a DUI,” White said.

White also thanked Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) for awarding Illinois a 4.5-Star rating, among the nation’s highest, for our state’s efforts to combat drunk driving. White applauded MADD for its ongoing campaign to eliminate drunk driving.
