Alcohol Limits
 Alcohol
Limits
There’s no plainer way to say it: Riding a motorcycle when you’re not in
complete control of your mental faculties is not smart. Using alcohol (even a
small amount) or other
drugs (including even certain prescription drugs and over-the-counter
medications such as antihistamines) can have a deadly effect on your ride.
Dangerous Decisions
Data collected by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation shows that almost 40 percent
of riders killed in motorcycle accidents had been drinking. And only about
one-third of those were considered legally intoxicated. The rest, though below
the “legal limit,” had consumed enough alcohol to diminish their skills and
impair their judgment – which ended up costing them their lives.
