DUI / Drunk Driving on a snowmobile will get you a fine, but how does it affect your driving record?

Snowmobilers caught operating their sled while DUI / DWI / drunk are fined, but the offense doesn't show up on their driving record.

The Department of Natural Resources' "snowmobile safety administrator" wants to change that, but not everyone agrees.

The President of the Oneida County Snowmobile Council says they've gone on record to oppose the law. He says if the law's going to pass, it's only fair that every offense made on a snowmobile be put on your driving record.

Steve Moran, the President of the Oneida County Snowmobile Council, says "If we want to start putting alcohol related instances on our licenses, we need to also put violations of stop signs, speeding, driving on the wrong side of the road, non-registration. You don't drive your vehicle without license plates, you don't blow stop signs in your vehicle, there's no difference."

He adds that more education is needed to keep snowmobilers safe out on the trail.

Snowmobilers in general are against it, and there's no way they'll tolerate the new law.
