Don't Drink & Ride
39% of motorcyclists killed in a fatal crash had a BAC of .01 or above. Riding responsibly is a choice every rider must make. Alcohol consumption impairs your thinking, reasoning, and muscle coordination—all vital abilities to riding a motorcycle safely. Please ride responsibly.
Driving under the influence is a crime. In addition to safety concerns, there are severe legal penalties and economic consequences.
Consequences of a DUI conviction could include:
- Loss of work time
- High-risk auto insurance rates
- Meeting requirements of the Secretary of State’s Department of Administrative Hearings to obtain a restricted driving permit
- Completion of an alcohol and drug evaluation, alcohol/drug remedial education course and/or a substance abuse treatment program before driving privileges are reinstated
- Use of a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) for first-time DUI offenders during their entire suspension period
