Do you think a DUI should be a DUI if:

the said person is riding a bicycle and has not operated it recklessly?

I find it amusing that someone sitting on the seat of a bicycle on the sidewalk in front of a house party can get a DUI.

Please elaborate when you vote.

I believe you would be charged with an OUI or an OWI.

OUI


The next most common acronym for drunk driving is OUI. This stands for operating under the influence. The word ?operating? is actually more encompassing (and more accurate) than ?driving? because almost all states make it illegal to ?operate or be in actual physical control? of a motor vehicle. This means that you can be sitting in your car, off the side of the road, with the engine running and the car in park, and asleep, yet still be charged with OUI (or DUI or DWI, for that matter, in most states). The states that have OUI as their acronym are Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.

OWI


Another acronym for drunk driving is OWI, or operating while intoxicated. Similar to OUI, the operative word is ?operating?. Wisconsin is the largest state using this acronym.

if you're drunk and you hit a pedestrian with a bike, yes
if you're drunk and you cause or almost cause a car accident, yes

otherwise, who cares.

I'd like to see someone charged with DUI for riding a unicycle while drunk. Now that's entertainment.

Any DUIs while on a Segway?

riding a bike while drunk is pretty dangerous you should drive a car with a 5 star safety rating
