ONE DRINK PARKS YOU FOR THE DAY. NO EXCEPTIONS.



I guess that means I'd hardly ever be riding. I guess it's different for everyone, but I don't see a problem with having a beer and riding. I may drink more than most of the people on this forum, but I have strict rules (for myself) when bike riding - no more than one beer per hour to stay below the limit. A day doesn't go by when I don't have at least a couple of beers. I'm glad the laws where I ride aren't as strict as you are. I've never had a DUI.

I guess I should add that my only bike accident was the other guy's fault and I had not had anything to drink. I've had a few car accidents, a couple my fault, but none had any drinking involved. Five years ago my wife and I were sitting at a red light (in our Jeep) and a guy hit us going over 60 mph. He had been drinking and was getting a BJ at the time. No, nothing got severed. My neck is still screwed up and will never be right. The guy was over the limit and only got charged with a misdemeanor. That does bug me.

You should have stayed and talked with the police. There's a chance you might have avoided a DUI by being cooperative as well as present. Attitude has a lot to do with the police reaction you have to deal with.
