13    alcohol concentration; and
14        (5) whether the person, after being advised by the

21under Section 11-501.1 of this Code. A law enforcement officer
22may, however, pursue a statutory summary suspension of driving

17vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, the concentration
18of alcohol in the person's blood or breath at the time alleged
19as shown by analysis of the person's blood, urine, breath, or
20other bodily substance shall give rise to the following
21presumptions:
22        1. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
23    of 0.05 or less, it shall be presumed that the person was
24    not under the influence of alcohol.
25        2. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
26    in excess of 0.05 but less than 0.08, such facts shall not

3    considered with other competent evidence in determining
4    whether the person was under the influence of alcohol.
5        3. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
6    of 0.08 or more, it shall be presumed that the person was
7    under the influence of alcohol.

19physical control of a motor vehicle.
20    2. Notwithstanding any ability to refuse under this Code to
21submit to these tests or any ability to revoke the implied
22consent to these tests, if a law enforcement officer has
23probable cause to believe that a motor vehicle driven by or in
24actual physical control of a person under the influence of
25alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
26compounds, or any combination thereof has caused the death or

2request of a law enforcement officer, to a chemical test or
3tests of his or her blood, breath or urine for the purpose of

18to be more than 0.00 is not subject to this Section if he or she
19consumed alcohol in the performance of a religious service or
20ceremony. An individual whose blood alcohol concentration is
21shown to be more than 0.00 shall not be subject to this Section

13    believe that the driver had consumed any amount of an
14    alcoholic beverage based upon the driver's physical
15    actions or other first-hand knowledge of the police
16    officer; and
17        (4) whether the person, after being advised by the

13of this Code, the Secretary of State may rescind, continue, or

11privileges under Section 11-501.1 of this Code if other
12physical evidence or first hand knowledge forms the basis of
13that suspension.
