Man Gets DUI Driving a Bar Stool

ByOhTek writes "A man is being charged for driving under the influence, on a motorized bar stool. He stated that it was only a minor accident, from the report, nobody else was injured. According to the police report, 'Wygle claims his unique vehicle can reach a speed of 38 miles per hour, though at the time of the crash he was going around 20.' At 38 miles per hour, he could do a lot of harm if he struck someone. Should such a vehicle be considered when DUI charges are applied?"

They still do, at least in Georgia. The sad thing is I know two people who have DUI convictions on their records due to riding a bicycle while intoxicated. One of those guys also managed to accrue additional charges from his incident, including being a minor in possession of alcohol, out past curfew [Gwinnett County], riding on the wrong side of the road, failure to wear reflective and safety gear, and possession of a minor amount of marijuana. That case was ten years ago, and while it wasn't funny at the time, it's pretty damned funny now.
