Drunk Driving DUI Law

The Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho Tribes have adopted new laws that are in some ways stricter than Wyoming state statutes on drunken driving.

Traffic laws on the Wind River Indian Reservation have NOT been updated since 1963, and the new rules make way for a serious crackdown on drunken driving.

The new legal limit for drivers on the Wind River Indian Reservation is a blood-alcohol level of .05, tribal officials said, compared to .08 for the state.

The new laws also address repeat offenders, unlike the old rules. Once convicted of DUI, that conviction now triggers a “zero tolerance” policy for the future, where any detectable level of alcohol in the blood is another offense, said Leslie Shakespeare, chairman of the joint Shoshone-Arapaho Traffic Code Revision Committee.
