Its snowmobile season and that means outdoor sportsters need to take extra caution. In Wisconsin this year, there have already been 11 snow mobile deaths. Out of these, 5 have been related to drinking while driving the sporting vehicle.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural resources is one of the leading agencies that is endorsing a new international Zero Alcohol campaign- urging every snowmobiler to take personal responsibility for reducing alcohol-related crashes.

Although a zero percent alcohol level is not the law, the campaign is hoping peer pressure alone will make a difference. You may be noticing bumper stickers appearing on snowmobiles advertising this limit soon.

Snowmobile drivers need to understand the danger that drinking while driving the sporting vehicle creates., not only for themselves or their passengers but for pedestrians alike. Responsibility is key for this winter sport.
