First Segway DUI in Idaho
Friday, 23 May 2008
The Boiseweekly.com reported the nations first Segway DUI arrest that occurred in Oct 2007.   The situation had both police and prosecuting attorney's scratching their heads.  So they erred on the side of caution and arrested the man for DUI.   The legislature clarified the ambiguity and legislated that the Segway was not a vehicle for purposes of the DUI law.  Remember a Georgia DUI can occur on mopeds, golf carts, bikes, lawnmowers.  DUIs are not just for Cars and Alcohol anymore.  Segways are specifically excluded from the definition of vehicles under the Georgia Code so it appears that Drunk Segwaying is legal in Georgia.  Remember, this is not legal advice merely an unsolicited opinion.  Do not rely on this for purposes of avoiding a Georgia DUI.
