At least you could drive to your court date.

in the criminal code interpretations, I found this:
motor vehicle means a vehicle that is drawn, propelled or driven by any means other than muscular power, but does not include railway equipment.
so you can be as drunk as you want in a manual wheelchair, but you could be charged in a mobility scooter. best to just ride the old ten speed if drunk.
I doubt a cop would charge you, though. maybe just give you a ticket for being intoxicated in public?
