Sorry Vita, but I respectfully disagree with this type of discriminatory policing. Whats good for one is good for all plain and simple. I have my own personal limits when riding which are well within the legal boundaries and I certainly don't need someone telling me that because I ride a snowmobile or motorcycle I will be more watched than others!

Whatever happened to self policing and personal responsibilty... Oh yeah thats right they went out the window with the old America.

Dan,

I am not saying that there should be a law, rule or any other binding agreement. I am fine with .08 (but my Class A CDL is .02, discriminatory?) as the law.

We are talking about a restaurant's policy. The establishment needs to protect itself. We lose snowmobilers virtually every year over here (near Green's Basin), the last ones had recently left a local establishment. This is where personal responsibility seems to end because lawsuits are the result and blame is spread to the establishment and server.

I consider myself to be a civil libertarian, I don't think more laws will solve anything. In this case, I have to put myself in the Owner's or Bartender's shoes- they are the ultimate arbitrar of who gets served. If I think they are too tight on their policy, I get to vote with my feet.
