- MaddDog, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18You can also be charged with drunk driving for being inebriated while riding a bicycle.
- masamunecyrus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14I'm sorry, but you can't ~drive~ a horse. Hopefully her defense lawyer will argue that by the very definition, you can't ~drive~ a horse.
Juding from what she did ("drive" a horse into traffic and tangling with a car), I'm sure she can be charged with public intoxication and whatever laws there are about placing large objects in the middle of the road, but DUI is not one of the applicable charges, if I was the judge, that is.
EDIT: I stand corrected. The first definition of "drive" as according to Merriam-Webster: "1 a : to frighten or prod (as game or cattle) into moving in a desired direction" - aeproberts, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Yeah this actually happened to a friend of mine in Key West. The judge let him off easy and let him pleed down to something meaningless since he was on a bike. If the judge was a prick though he could have put a DUI on his record.
- BAmbrose, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8My friend asked a cop how far he had taken drunk driving (the cop works for a university) and he said he had taken a kid in for being drunk on rollerblades
- AriaStar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Any mode of transportation other than the feet is considered vehicular.
Vehicle: any means in or by which someone travels or something is carried or conveyed; a means of conveyance or transport (from dictionary.com/Random House Unabridged Dictionary)
Laws found under the Vehicles Code (in California, called the Vehicles Code, will differ by state) apply to all modes of transportation, be it car, horse, or roller skates. So far feet have been excepted.
I know one person at Stanford who got a ticket on campus for riding his bike with earphones. It's against the vehicles code to be on transportation with earphones in both ears. The ticket stood. He had to pay. I researched, found that even skates count. And horses definitely carry and transport. - MillenniumGuy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5The local water safety classes claim that you can get a DUI while operating a Boat, Jet Ski or WaveRunner on the ocean.
- IHaveIssues, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5".... you might be a Redneck."
- schabrat14, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I just cant believe the horse is still alive!
- IHaveIssues, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Welcome the the "Block" club asswipe spammer.
- mecole21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I wonder if the horse was drunk too...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3if the horse was drunk would he get the dui?
or if you are sober can you ride a drunk horse? - procdaddy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3you arent driving anything tho?
- glock22ownr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Hehe, funny. Although that probably was not a DUI, I don't think roller blades are considered a vehicle. Bikes, apparently horses, riding lawn mowers, cars..etc. are vehicles which is why this brainiac got nailed with a DUI.
- jsls, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Well obviously the charge stemmed from the fact she was riding onto the highway and tangled with a car...and that is fair...but here in Colorado if you pass out in the back seat of your car even without your car keys...you can still be charged with a DUI!!!
- dustedbunny, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This idiots comment history is ridiculous. He's been spamming this all day...
- generalginjur, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2a "dui" for walking, in my region, is public intox.
- hoowahman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2everyone go there and mark it as spam... there needs to be coincidences to this crap.
- mecole21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2the one thing i dont get is wouldnt the horse be smart enough to not get in front of a car... deer seem to be pretty good at this for the most part... i think a horse would be better...
- robbiedo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Well the horse is a self aware creature (I have known some really smart horses). Couldn't it be argued that the horse was navigating him/her self and was the designated driver, and she was just a passenger?
Vehicles don't have awareness? Hal 9000 excepted. - mecole21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2thats how it is in a lot of states
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3What am i supposed to take from that, christains dont get drunk and ride horses?
If you are going to spam at least try to make it pertinate to the subject at hand. - toneii, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Crazy Carl from PSU used to have a horse and buggy. When he was drunk after running a bar all night, he would get in the buggy and fall asleep. The horse knew the way home!
- codyman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I wonder if anyone has ever been charged with a DUI for being on a razor scooter
- glock22ownr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Probably... it is considered a vehicle...but that depends on the state... so who knows.
- schabrat14, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Why arnt any of these just labelled under "public intoxication" .....is it because a DUI is more serious? It just seems odd to me.
- Antha, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I had a friend in Utah get hit with a WUI. Public intox, really, while walking home from a party. I think the police were pushing it, personally. He wasn't driving home drunk, just walking home.
- nurall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1a friend of mine got a dui riding a skateboard
- swizzley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1In the state of Minnesota a DUI can only be charged if the person was in control of a motorized vehicle. Although many states do not specify in their statues that the "vehicle" needs to be motorized, so it's a wise thing to check on before you decide to ride your bike home from the bar.
Also the defense that you do not "drive" the horse would not work. As far as I know all states will/can charge a DUI if you are simply in control of the "vehicle." (sleeping in a parked car in your driveay while intoxicated would be a DUI if you had keys to the vehicle on you, or in the vehicle) - monahmat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Actually you can get a DWI/DUI in New York on a bike.
- theDevilsDue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've seen news stories where people have been cited for DUI while riding a bicycle (which really *****' blows), operating a riding lawnmower, and pushing their car.
The local Sheriff was arrested for DUI while on horseback a few years ago by the State Highway Patrol.
In this state you can be charged with a DUI if you are inside of or touching your vehicle. It used to be that you could only be charged if the keys were in the ignition or in your possession and you were inside. Not anymore. - jsanto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This reminds me of a guy I knew who got a DUI while operating a skid loader. He was walking home from the bar all by his lonesome and happened upon a construction area...
- toppgun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1that would be a WUI
walking under the influence
you dont drive a bike, you ride it. RUI - swizzley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Argh, Digg kicked me out in the middle of editing my comment. Part 2...
Finally, you can't look up definitions to words used in a law in a dictionary. The state creates their own definitions when they write the laws. A large portion of the criminal or traffic code in any state is more definitions than law. - rdotson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sneezing and blowing ones nose while driving is prohibited in many states. :-|
- compwizz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Shouldn't it be RUI, for Riding Under the Influence?
- FreckleEars, on 12/27/2008, -0/+1Yeah this actually happened to me underage. I was soo far from home that the cop laughed at me and thought it would be better punishment for me to find my way home. Oh an I did... 3 hours later at 4am.
- JustAnotherBob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So by that token, couldn't a passenger of a car, that is passed out in the backseat, be charged with a DUI too then?
- mancat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Walking in Utah, Intoxicated
It's a HUGE crime. - Jaymoon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3dealsdealer:
the next thing u know , u wud be charged with "Drunk Walking"
-------------
Uhh, duh. The legal blood alcohol limit is not *just* for driving. - Daniel591992, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"the next thing u know , u wud be charged with "Drunk Walking""
looking at your grammar, maybe drunk posting on digg too! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2lollerskates
- nottidredd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i'm sure you can. you can get a DUI on a segway or hover-round
- mandarin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1If I was drunk and strapped a rickshaw on me, would I be arrested for drunk running?
- Rachel21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The person riding the horse too. The car that hit them must not have been going too fast... I'm guessing maybe it was on one of those 2 lane "highways."
- rdotson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1No, your passenger would be arrested for DRR or Drunken Rickshaw Riding. ;-)
- secretivecoward, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1cough AnonymousSpeech.com cough
Email the principal: "You are such a lesbian" - nejifan123, on 05/29/2008, -0/+0A DUI can be charged for anything that moves by moter, wheels, or legs (,besides your own legs). DUI can be for anything including:
*Skateboard
