A 55 mph night speed limit just makes sense. An overall 55 mph speed limit would make even more sense. Is any snowmobile trail wider than a two lane highway? Isn't that the speed limit on a two way highway?
This article mentions alcohol was only a factor in half of the snowmobile deaths, which I think proves the point I made in a previous post-until we know how many snowmobilers are drinking, we don't know, maybe there are less deaths among snowmobilers who drink.
One lawmaker is considering a zero tolerance policy for drinking and snowmobiling. I have to think that is a bad idea, for tavern and restaurant owners, for snowmobilers, and for the DNR, who will look like bad guys for fining someone who had a beer or two on a trail stop.
