These are violations that can occur while riding a snowmobile. The most dangerous of the three would be OWI/DUI, (operating while intoxicated /driving under the influence). Keep yourself, others, and the life of snowmobiling safe by not drinking and driving your snowmobile.

Operating While Intoxicated/Driving Under the Influence (OWI/DUI)
Drinking and driving laws pertain not only to automobiles, but also to snowmobiles. Alcohol greatly impairs your sense of balance, coordination, and judgment. A vast majority of all snowmobile accidents are caused by alcohol. Never drive your snowmobile while under the influence. Operating while intoxicated can greatly increase your chances of being injured or killed, or killing someone else.

States and provinces have varying limits for alcohol consumption while operating a snowmobile. Most are 0.08 or 0.1. In most jurisdictions, operators can be cited and spend time in jail for an OWI/DUI on a snowmobile.

OWI/DUI is not only limited to alcohol but illegal drugs are also considered an OWI/DUI. Penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs can be severe.

Eluding Police Officers
While you are riding the trails, a law enforcement officer can stop you if he/she thinks he/she may have a reason to. If signaled to pull over, do so immediately in a safe manner. Failure to stop, or eluding the police, can result in high fines and possible jail time.

Trespassing
Never travel off the snowmobile trail marked with route signs. Always travel on trails approved for snowmobiles. Trespass violations, even those that appear minor, are one of the leading causes of trail closures.
