jeremygsxr Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Sometimes the law is ignorant, sometimes people are ignorant. My question is, Why if you were drunk, and crashed that, would you hang around for the medics and police?Those things fly,too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsuMj Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 that's sweet. I want one.I wonder where the DUI law stops... if you have a motorized wheel chair, or a regular wheel chair? You get one on a bike, that has wheels. Anyone?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremygsxr Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 If it has tires, and you can steer it, you can get a dui. I think you can get a dui on a horse, also. I wonder what they do if the horse is drunk and you are sober? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Green Valley Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I wonder where the DUI law stops... if you have a motorized wheel chair, or a regular wheel chair? You get one on a bike, that has wheels. Anyone?? It is no longer referred to as DUI or OMVI in the state of Ohio. Ohio Revised Code changed the language of the law to Operating a Vehicle under the Influence (OVI). The vehicle does not have to be motorized to be charged and the language includes the operation of a vehicle within the State of Ohio.http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/4511.19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsuMj Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 to me, the website reads: nobody shall operate blah blah blah, alcohol, blah blah, cocaine, blah blah, juvie... short attention span.So I guess what I'm asking is, if I break my legs and want to get hammered, can I get charge with operating a 'vehicle' under the influence? What is a 'vehicle'? I didn't look terribly hard, but I didn't see a definition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't look terribly hard, but I didn't see a definition."Vehicle" and "motor vehicle" are defined in a separate section at the beginning of the code for Title 45: chapter 4501:CHAPTER 4501: MOTOR VEHICLES -- DEFINITIONS; GENERAL PROVISIONS 4501.01 Motor vehicles definitions. As used in this chapter and Chapters 4503., 4505., 4507., 4509., 4510., 4511., 4513., 4515., and 4517. of the Revised Code, and in the penal laws, except as otherwise provided: (A) “Vehicles” means everything on wheels or runners, including motorized bicycles, but does not mean electric personal assistive mobility devices, vehicles that are operated exclusively on rails or tracks or from overhead electric trolley wires, and vehicles that belong to any police department, municipal fire department, or volunteer fire department, or that are used by such a department in the discharge of its functions. (B) “Motor vehicle” means any vehicle, including mobile homes and recreational vehicles, that is propelled or drawn by power other than muscular power or power collected from overhead electric trolley wires. “Motor vehicle” does not include utility vehicles as defined in division (VV) of this section, motorized bicycles, road rollers, traction engines, power shovels, power cranes, and other equipment used in construction work and not designed for or employed in general highway transportation, well-drilling machinery, ditch-digging machinery, farm machinery, and trailers that are designed and used exclusively to transport a boat between a place of storage and a marina, or in and around a marina, when drawn or towed on a public road or highway for a distance of no more than ten miles and at a speed of twenty-five miles per hour or less.Translation --> blah blah blah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Note that like all rules and regulations, it is always out of date. It appears that those shoes with wheels on them, Heelys, qualify as a "vehicle", and a drunk wearing them could be charged with OVI per the current interpretation of the law.

speedwolf02 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 lol i that would be about it, get a OVI while cruisin down the side walk with heelys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vw151 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 If he did in fact not get drunk until after wrecking the bar stool then it's not an OVI. In fact, I think that if he manages to drink at all after the "driving" occurs but before they measure his blood alcohol it ruins the case against him because they have no way of measuring his alcohol level while driving. I don't think he'll get an OVI. Driving under suspension.... I don't know if a motorized bar stool counts for that or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
