What the Tennessee Motorcycle Operator Manual says about alcohol, drugs and DUI law

  • Alertness and Concentration

    Alcohol is a depressant, not a stimulant, at any concentration; the lift people feel from small amounts comes from lowered inhibitions. Reaction time and coordination are impaired from as low as .02. p. 17

  • Alcohol’s Effects on Driving Ability

    Judgment and vision, the two abilities most important to driving, are both affected by small amounts of alcohol: one drink alters your sense of speed, time and distance; alcohol cuts night vision by more than half, slows glare recovery and reduces side vision by about 30% at .05. p. 17

  • Driving Under the Influence of Drugs or Alcohol

    Tennessee's DUI law covers driving or being in physical control of a vehicle on public roads and on places used by the public (shopping centers, trailer parks, apartment complexes) while under the influence or at .08 or more; a driver at .00 can still be convicted if impaired by drugs. p. 18

  • Implied Consent Law

    By riding in Tennessee you consent to a test for alcohol or drugs when an officer has reasonable grounds; refusing after arrest means the test isn't given but your license is suspended for 12 months. Under the 2012 No Refusal law, officers may get a warrant for a blood sample. p. 19

  • DUI Penalties

    A first Tennessee DUI conviction brings at least 48 hours in jail (7 days at a BAC of 0.20% or more) and a one-year license revocation; a second brings a two-year revocation and possible vehicle seizure, a third 3–10 years, and a fourth is a Class E felony. p. 19

  • Under 21 Laws

    A Tennessee 18- to 20-year-old convicted of buying, trying to buy or possessing alcohol loses driving privileges for one year (two years for a second time), even if not driving at the time. p. 21
