SanJuanWorm Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 See when I go drunk power boating I usually only run into problems when loading the boat back on the trailer and driving home. I have ZERO sympathy for people who drink and drive.
SanJuanWorm Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Don't get me wrong i'm not anti-jet boat. I'm anti drunk driving.
troutlover Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 still goes to prove it's not the method of transportation its the ass hat operator.
Guest Wrecker Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Must have been a mechanical failure. Boats are easy to drive while drunk.
SilverDoctor Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Real dumb. Refusal to provide a breath sample will result in criminal code charges in itself, If convicted of refusal to blow or give a blood sample, you will receive the same penalty and driving prohibition/suspension as if you did give the sample and were found “over 80. Impaired while driving a boat will result in your driving license also being suspended. There should be 0 tolerance for booze on the water. I lost a boat and came close to loosing my life as a result of drunk teens in a speed boat cutting my boat in half. No sympathy here for drunk driving.
