Calamity Jane Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) snowmobiling is a big winter "sport" around these parts...and these noisy beasts are also, [color:red]just like motorcycles, often driven on (and sometimes through) river ice. It's draft, I know...but methinks "impaired judgment" answers the question in the title of this thread...they weren't thinking!!! We just had a snowmobile death in the village 2 weeks ago and buddy had been drinking and crashed into a tree. Turns out that booze is implicated in over 50% of snowmobile accidents --- double the number of just 5 years ago, apparently!!It's crazy, and I asked the same quesion you did SSJ...drinking and driving is never smart, but at least in a car, you have seat belts and air bags....what exactly do you have on a snowmobile that would make you think drinking and driving it is a wise move.....?

StoneMtn Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 What the Fack where they thinking? Probably something like:"I don't care what any of 'em say. I am not too drunk. I am perfectly capable of driving safely on this here, snow-covered race-track." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
