this proves you can get a DWI driving anything

I have heard of DWI on tractors and such but this takes it all

I guess any motorized vehicle you're in while you're drunk gets you a DUI. Shoot, in FL you can get a DUI even if you're sitting in the driver's seat passed out, keys in your hand and/or in the ignition. Because they see that as controlling a vehicle while under the influence.

one of my friends in idaho got a dui for leaning against his car with his keys in his pocket.

You can get a dui on a horse too.

But a converted Lazy Boy, that's awesome. Wonder if he put a license plate on it?

If you don't mind being asked, are there any details on this?

That's true. It's a "vehicle" if you can drive it. It only says while "Operating a motor vehicle".

But the latter can get argued in court and a good lawyer can get a case like that dismissed.

I gotta admit that it's pretty creative and comfortable for an alternative mode of transportation. I definitely would love to see if and what kind of license plate is on that Lazy Boy.

honestly, i don't know much of the details cuz i wasn't there. but he said that he was at a party at a friend's house and the cops showed up for a noise complaint and saw him leaning against his car with a beer in his hand. they gave him a breathalizer test, he was over the limit. apparently it was an "intent to drive" or something like that. he fought it and won, tho.

DWI or no most states have laws for what types of vehicles are legally allowed to be driven on roadways, for example I cant attach to motor to a toy wagon and go on the road, nor does a power wheels constitute a legally drivable vehicle. Since he was in a parking lot though I'm not sure where to go with this one.

That makes all the difference.

Gotcha beat.

Edited for another link with a different picture. And no, it's not photoshopped. I've seen video of this thing in motion. Gets up to 60 MPH easily.

That link is broken.

How does someone manage to build a gas-powered recliner while remaining drunk enough to think it's a good idea?
