If you ride impaired, you’re asking for trouble. DUI is a crime that is aggressively enforced and prosecuted in Utah. Officers throughout the state routinely conduct patrols and check points to remove impaired drivers and riders from the road. You’d be looking at $10,000 in fines and fees, an impounded bike, ignition interlock devices and more—nothing good there.
And to be honest, an arrest for DUI is a consequence of impaired riding that’s on the lower end of the severity scale. What’s more likely and much more severe is you crashing. Alcohol affects your balance, reaction time and judgment—motorcycles are unforgiving, even of small errors. You should never mix alcohol with riding.
