Drinking & Driving (but not the bad kind)
Obviously drinking and driving a vehicle like a car, motorbike, etc. is a horrible idea, but IMO there are other vehicles where it's a little more of a gray area (morally; not necessarily legally).
Just wondering what CP's thoughts are on a couple of hypothetical scenarios. I was debating this with a couple of friends the other day, and they took the stance that someone engaging in the below activity should be charged in the same way a drunk driver in a jacked up F-150 should be charged, while I took more of an "oh, be fun" approach.
Now, there are clearly multiple stages of being drunk. For these scenarios, let's say you had exactly one beer over what you would have legally been allowed to drink to drive a car.
So without further ado, I present the scenarios in question:
1. Riding a bike home from the pub.
2. Riding a mobility scooter home from the pub (maximum speed is the pace of a light jog; has a headlight and tail light).
Any thoughts?
