Hypothetical question?

If I am drunk and riding a horse down the road and the police pull me over. Am I now guilty of DUI? What if I am on a golf cart? I know weird question but I am just curious.

The whole horse thing probably would be considered as public intoxication, and the whole golf cart thing, yea probably. I saw a video on cops where this guy was shwasted, and he was riding a lawnmower, and they pulled him over... but it was really funny

If you are driving a vehicle that requires a license to operate while drunk, yes, you are legally DUI. If you are riding a horse where you are not supposed to because you are drunk, you are still breaking the law because you are endangering yourself and others and drunk in public, but you are not legally DUI. Same for the golf cart.

Better yet, fill your horses water dish with vodka, and then you ride him sober...then you will see the affect it has on you.

Horse isn't an issue, golf cart meets the definition of motor vehicle where I work.

well a golf cart yes, cause u control it

a horse no, cause it acts on its own.. just make sure the horse isnt drunk. haha jk.

lol good question but i think they might take the horse and lock you up for the night unless you are causing no trouble.

no, neither of those are licensed vehicles in the united states it's just a PI, and probably gonna also get a citation for unlicensed vehicle on a roadway.

A golf cart, yes. Horse, no.

Only on a licensed vehicle. Some places golf carts are licensed like Catalina Island, CA
