Yep, you and your buddies go out to a local restaurant, they have a few cocktails, you agree to be the "designated driver" get pulled over on the way home, you pass the test, but your buddies all fail and get hauled away, that is what this is saying. Comprende?

That may be somebody interpretation to the law. I doubt its written that way, I would like to see how it reads. Maybe its a little loose on how it's read. A lot of people see new laws and freak out and think OMG we cant do anything.

Im all about drinking and love doing it, but me personally if it were up to me the DRIVER and driver only of a car, boat, motorcycle, etc would be ZERO tolerance. No drinks at all. Personally I think well see that some day due to all the idiots and the BS and confusion that goes along with it. Be alot easier knowing you cant drink at all vs can I have one or three

I agree, However, if I read it correctly, it doesn't matter if the boat is moving or anchored for the night..or for that matter parked at a dock. If your on the boat and your drinking you could get a BUI ticket......which is a load of $hit IMO.

True, If your not the driver you should not be POTENTIALLY threatned by this. Or parked overnight, which most places will say as long as you are parked and keys are out of igntion.

You sir are a silly goose! He wasn't in a 115 MPH skater, he was on a houseboat anchored. Enjoying dinner and drinks with family and friends. Maybe next time you have a cocktail at home the police will flip on their blues and pull in your driveway and make u blow. I'm sure then you'd see why everybody's up in arms!!!!!y

WOW, hope they never have a NASCAR race in Oklahoma. The whole infield full of motorhomes with DUI's sitting on the roof watching the race.

yeah i have and what I meant is people Shouldnt be arrested or have to worry about getting arrested if they are passengers because of this law.

With that said this is all how somebody reads or sees the law. IF somebody could post the law that would be great.

I'm fed up as well,whether you drink or not these loosers hassel you anyway, not to mention most have no bussiness being a coxswain of a vessel. I doubt any of them have a ***k! Anyone remember this from WWII movies? "HALT! SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS"! oh and by the way blow in this tube as well. Perhaps they should go blow thier partner!......................................Rjr. ........................
You are right on target. Revenue, revenue, and the Barney Fife/Tackleberry mentality is why 90% of these law enforcement nuts act the way they do. And I especially agree with the part about the guy who's made it and is just going to pay the fine. Or pay the system somehow. These guys really are jealous. You should have seen the dipsh t that pulled us over right after we got the Fountain. He was looking around so much he could hardly write his ticket. He came one inch from asking me what I paid for it. Why don't they go chase drug dealers and Al Quaida!
