Extreme DUI

I thought it would be wise to ride my bike to the pub instead of driving. I got busted for drink driving because a bike is a vehicle. Is this law ( in Australia ) the same in any other places?

it is not a law in LOUISIANA, USA

yeah, its a kind of vehicle, u also observe traffic rules dont u? i dont know about ur country but it sure is an offence in mine.

I'm sorry, truly, but this made me laugh, the wheelchair too. Never thought about this, however bikes are licenced in Canada so I guess that makes them subject to the same laws. Seems sort of unfair, still I guess you could create an accident.
It's similar to the guy who pulled over to the side of the road and passed out. He got charged for driving drunk. Seems you have to take the keys out of the ignition and crawl into the back seat to be safe.
Sorry, bud.

Wise??

Bikes are used on the road. Drinking and vehicles don't mix.

Speeds of 15-20mph can easily be achieved on bikes these days.

WISE was the officer that had your and other road users health and safety in mind.

In most communities in the US, an offense of that nature is a misdemenor Public Intoxication charge.

I mean, if you hit a moving car while riding your bike while drunk, who will suffer the most??

Laws such as the ones you describe are the very reason we should not want to let the government tell us what we can and cannot do about anything! they will take and take our individual rights until there are none left.

Murph

apologies to mrmeaux69 but it IS a law in louisiana. they can get you if you're mowing your yard on a riding lawnmower or riding a horse.
