All sounds reasonable. I wonder how other states handle it. In New Jersey, that's been the law for roughly 10 years. Don't quote me on the penalties, but I believe if you are convicted for a first offense BUI, you loose your boating operator's license for a year, and your automobile driver's license for either 3 months, or a year, depending on your Blood Alcohol Level. Fines, and the big expense, insurance rates, are additional. New Jersey has been known to set up checkpoints on the water and at the ramps, and have a special "field sobriety" test for boaters. |

They need to take this guy to the cleaners. http://www.thedailytimes.com/article...NEWS/907109989 I heard once, not sure if it's true or not, but on the average weekend, 25% of all boaters are close to, if not outright, legally inebriated. |

Fines, and the big expense, insurance rates, are additional. New Jersey has been known to set up checkpoints on the water and at the ramps, and have a special "field sobriety" test for boaters. In CT, it's not quite as drastic. The penalty for a first violation may be: a fine between $500 and $1000. One year suspension of boating privileges, 6 months (at least 48 hours which cannot be suspended) in jail or suspended plus probation requiring 100 hours community service. The penalty for a second violation within ten years may be: a fine between $1000 and $4000, three years suspension of boating privileges, two years (at least 120 days) in jail and probation requiring 100 hours community service. The penalty for a third and subsequent violations within 10 years may be: a fine between $2000 and $8000, suspension of boating privileges for life, three years (at least 1 year) in jail and probation requiring 100 hours of community service. Penalties for refusal to submit to a chemical test are more substantial than failing the test. These pretty much mirror the motor vehicle laws as far as penalties, fine and what not with the exception that motor vehicle licenses aren't lost in combination with the boater's "priviledges". The problem is, once again, enforcement. You can register a boat or a car or a truck or a motorcycle - any vehicle in CT without having a driver's license. And unless you're stopped by DEM or locals with a water patrol, the chances of them asking for your boating certificate is about zip. |

I don't care about the drunk but I do care about who he runs over. Very true. Some years ago, they arrested a guy in a small town near here for riding his horse drunk. He said the horse knew the way home, and he was not driving. |
