Impaired driving threatens everyone’s safety. Manitoba’s tough laws on driving while impaired apply to all motor vehicles* as well as to situations where a person operates a vessel, an aircraft or railway equipment while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

*Motor vehicles include infrastructure equipment, agricultural equipment and off-road vehicles.

An off-road vehicle is any motorized vehicle designed and adapted for cross-country travel on land, water, ice, snow, marsh or other natural terrain. Some examples are:

• snowmobiles
• all-terrain vehicles
• dirt bikes

Infrastructure equipment and agricultural equipment include:

• front-end loaders
• cranes
• forklifts
• graders
• tractors
• combines

To operate infrastructure equipment or agricultural equipment, a person must hold a valid minimum Class 5 Intermediate Stage driver’s licence. This requirement applies on all provincial trunk highways, provincial roads and highways within the boundaries of a city, town or village.
