威斯康星州自然资源厅提议首次禁全地形车敞口酒容器:酒精牵涉43%致命事故、2026年已有42人死于全地形车事故

威斯康星州全州,威斯康星州自然资源厅10月30日提议,首次立法禁止在公共道路、步道和冰封水道上驾驶全地形车或轻型多用途车时持有或使用装有酒精及其他致醉物的敞口容器,以减少酒后驾驶导致的伤亡。
提议还包括修订车窗贴膜要求、要求驾驶员使用手势或转向信号。
10月29日的公开听证会上,自然资源厅越野车管理员杰克·霍尔斯克劳表示,厅方希望通过新规改善越野车安全。数据显示,2021年至2025年间,酒精牵涉全州43%的全地形车致命事故;2026年至今,全州已有42人死于全地形车事故。
2026年6月生效的新规已要求驾驶员与乘客系安全带、戴护目镜,此次提议是这一轮安全监管的延续。
威斯康星州县公路协会与州全地形车协会均表示支持上述变化,提议在走完立法程序后实施。

Wisconsin DNR Proposes First Open-Container Ban for ATVs and UTVs: Alcohol Involved in 43 Percent of Fatal Crashes, 42 Deaths So Far in 2026
Wisconsin — The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources proposed on October 30 a first-ever ban on possessing or using open containers of alcohol or other intoxicants while operating an all-terrain vehicle or utility terrain vehicle on public roads, trails and frozen waterways, aiming to reduce alcohol-related deaths and injuries.
The proposal also revises window tint requirements and requires operators to use hand or turn signals.
At an October 29 public hearing, DNR off-highway vehicle administrator Jack Holsclaw said the department hopes the new rules will improve off-highway vehicle safety. Data show alcohol was involved in 43 percent of fatal ATV crashes statewide from 2021 through 2025, and 42 people have died in ATV crashes statewide so far in 2026.
Rules effective in June 2026 already require operators and passengers to wear seat belts and eye protection; this proposal continues that round of safety regulation.
The Wisconsin County Highway Association and the Wisconsin ATV Association both support the changes. The proposal will take effect after completing the rulemaking process.
