Another new Missouri DWI law that just passed lowers the legal limit for boating under the influence (BWI) to .08, which makes the limit the same for driving a vehicle under the influence. I don’t know if Kansas DUI laws have changed on this, but for years the legal limit for driving a car was .08 but the legal limit for flying an airplane under the influence of alcohol was .10. So, you could be more intoxicated in a plane than in a car! Again, I have not looked recently, but I don’t recall the Kansas DUI laws changing on that. Anyway, a lot of things can go wrong on the water so it is important to designate a driver of a boat just like it is important to designate the driver of a car. I hope everyone had a happy and safe Fourth of July.
