Really...not Florida?

Ah, the rarely seen "Reckless Non-Automotive Inane Towing" also known as Drew's Law statute §1326.1817(2)(b)32.b

No operator of a stolen non-road legal paralyzed or obese people transporter may be used to tow any kind of device intended to enable disabled people to propel themselves. Operation of a non-road legal paralyzed or obese people transporter in this manner on a public road while under the influence of alcohol, pharmaceutics, drugs or zombo.com carries a mandatory fine of $2 and summary decapitation by the officer on the scene.

This makes me feel like a successful human being in comparison. Thank you drunk redneck motorized scooter guy. Thank you very much.

Look up.

Go full fat-retard, as it were.

Most people talk about the crazed antics of Ted Nugent and David Lee Roth. This guy is out there living the rock and roll dream his way and on his budget. Let's Kickstart this guy a gallon of gasoline and a case of Banker's Choice bourbon.

Scooter tricycle-fecta in play.

How in the world does the Hero tag apply,subby?

Amurrica

/inb4 any bad "white boys tryin' to be crips" jokes

Looking to the right on the page it seems he will be bumping elbows with the Mayors son

I expected a certain animated gif and am disappointed.

I haz a sad!!! :C

I've been on Fark too long. I glanced left fully expecting to see the Florida tag. Not even going to read the article - too disappointed.

FTFA: Houma Police say the friend riding in the wheelchair was released without incident.


What, no escalators nearby?

I had not seen the second part of that before. Lol

This is ridiculous, I mean, the guy should have been arrested for something, public intoxication, theft, disturbing the peace, whatever, but DWI?

DWIs should only apply to actual highway legal motor vehicles. Golf carts, scooters, electric wheelchairs, bicycles, etc, should not fall under DWI statutes.

How does anybody in a wheelchair have a friend?

Not Nurk, Ahia. Strangely, I am both relieved and disappointed.

\ I just feel empty...

That raises the interesting question, can you get a DUI if you are drunk on a motorized wheelchair you need for an actual disability?

Hero tag?

For a drunken thief?

Wow.....

Apos: How in the world does the Hero tag apply,subby?



is what i assume with the meaning of the hero tag in this case.

So glad I can claim to live in the fair city in which this event took place. Unfortunately, what you farkers aren't getting is the sheer distance over which this event took place. South Van Avenue is literally 3,000 feet from the Grand Caillou Walmart.

I can't say I have friends who would do such stupid things, but I know people around here that would. What the hell is wrong with those people?

/Please stop calling us rednecks; we're Cajuns
//Yes, there's a difference
///Has a mother who is actually a redneck
////And is probably racist

I have heard if them being given to someone in a non motorized wheelchair. The guy beat it in court, he had been visiting the same bar down the street for 20 years and an officer decided he needed "saving" from his sin of alcohol. Of course the guy was a veteran and drank because of his Parkinsons and that cop became very unpopular in that small town.

But I know that anything motorized is subject to DWI. Heck, bicycles have to obey all those laws too. Motorscooters definitely are, and I have known people who lost their licenses to drunk driving, got a DUI bike and ended up in jail for drunk driving on them. On public right of way it does not matter, the rules are the same for everyone.

walmart is the hero, for providing classy transportation.

Depends on the state. I know in WI, while bicycles have all the same "rights and responsibilities" on the road as a motor vehicle (on the road, cant go through a farking drivethru on a bike), you cant get a DUI on one. You can get a drunk in public however. You can get that just for being in wisconsin though.

Haven't been to Houma in years. Sounds like it hasn't changed much.

*shakes head* No freakin' sense of humor anymore.

I feel safer.

Given how Wal-mart steals health care from the people, I say that scooter belongs to the People!

New Fark is just like the old except that now I can much more easily read the headlines where Hero is being grossly misused

Progress in baby steps

I prefer to pull people in front of me. It's more challenging.

King Beef: [flipvine.com image 500x372]

Ha! There are three cows in that picture...

was this in Hamilton, Ontario? i once saw on King street someone on a motorized scooter (there's LOTs of those there) pulling a padded-up moving dolly that was lashed to the back, occupied by his girlfriend.

//hasn't changed much from what i hear
///haven't been back there for years now.

Klippoklondike: This makes me feel like a successful human being in comparison. Thank you drunk redneck motorized scooter guy. Thank you very much.

Hell, the existence of a law that makes operation of a Hoveround under the influence illegal makes me feel like a successful human being, as compared to the typical legislator. What's the next governmental step in micro-management? Staggering under the influence? You can start more trouble quicker on your own two feet than in one of these buggies.

I believe the next crime will be "Being under the influence while intoxicated". They'll make billions.

No shiat!

The first argument for DUI laws is always, "but you are in control of a 2 ton vehicle."
