I've always wondered what the interlock system looks like on a bike.


I know a guy who got a DUI in Jefferson Parish and didnt have a personal vehicle...just a work truck. So they made him put a machine in his house. HAd to blow twice each day at given times.

I have a friend that got a DWI on a horse, way back in the 90's.

Riding a bicycle drunk will get you a DWI, but its not as bad as getting a DWI in a car.

Let's say you're out drunk walking one night. You trip stepping down from the curb and fall face first into the street. A car serves to avoid hitting you and crashes. You are now responsible AND drunk. #mothersagainstdrunkwalking

In some states if you the owner of the car and the driver blows .08 you can be arrested.

No, but thanks to MADD's creative way of keeping stats on "alcohol-related" accidents and deaths, if you have a glass of wine at dinner, then catch a cab home and on the way home, as your cab is crossing a bridge with 100 other cars on it, the bridge collapses and 100 people die, the fact that you were involved in the accident in any way and had any alcohol whatsoever in your blood means that all 100 deaths are counted as "alcohol-related" traffic deaths.

Holy shite.

I would think anytime you're drunk and you come in contact with the Police there's a chance you could go to jail.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Steve McNair was charged with driving under the influence Thursday even though police said his brother-in-law was behind the wheel of the pickup registered to the former Tennessee Titan.

Although McNair was just a passenger, he was charged with a misdemeanor under a Tennessee law that prohibits a vehicle owner from letting it be driven by someone who is inebriated.

The law used to charge McNair doesn't consider whether the vehicle owner was drinking, but only if the driver was impaired. Aaron said Nashville police have used the law to cite 42 other people this year.

It means if you are riding a drunk sorostitute you can get a RWI, unless it's a true slumpbuster situation.
