R.I.P. Scout26
My observation is that snowmobiles have some sort of force field that repels all common sense I know that the steering is totally unreliable. I have seen them leave a perfectly good trail and go straight up the side of a mountain until they get stuck or start an avalanche.
a forcefield that repels all common sense. I like that, one of the most succinct and accurate descriptions I've heard.
Holy hell. It's like giving a loaded gun to a chimpanzee...
the last thing you need is rabies. You're already angry enough as it is.OTOH, there wouldn't be a tweeker left in Georgia...
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! AND THROW SOME STEAK ON THE GRILL!
Or pull out onto 65 mph traffic.
When I was in the northland, a dude made the paper for his 7th DUI. Stopped because he got his snowmobile stuck on the side of a 4 lane highway near a pretty big town. Cop stopped to help and smelled what turned out to be four times the legal limit. Predictably, the offender did not have a driver's license, so this was how he was getting to his watering holes. a forcefield that repels all common sense. I like that, one of the most succinct and accurate descriptions I've heard.P.S. I want a snowmobile.
Actually in west Michigan they used to have booze run snowmobile trails that went from watering hole to watering hole. Don't know if they do anymore. D.N.R. has started patrolling via snowmobile and writing D.U.I.'s
On private property or public roads?Can such laws be authoritative on private property?
I never had a snowmobile when I lived in the upper peninsula. I was too cheap to pay for a gadget I could use only nine months of the year.
In Iowa you can be charged for DUI on Private Property.
Steve, notice I didn't say "snow machines" so I wasn't (necessarily) including Alaskans in my comment Besides, why risk your life on a snow-go/machine/mobile when you can land a SuperCub on 10 feet of relatively smooth ice on a glacier?
I think any police department which enters private property to issue a summons for behavior which occurs only on said property, should be sued, with the offenders being held personally liable.
Wait wait. Snowmobiles don't require a driver's license?
