I just think that getting a DUI for being on a lawnmower, bicycle or other slow moving device is kind of over the top.

Would you feel that way if you had to swerve to avoid him, and possibly hit somebody else, or totaled your car, in the process?

Yep, I’d feel just as bad as I’d feel if I had to swerve to avoid a totally sober bike rider and total my car. Or the power walkers who walk too far out into the street.

Would your solution be to make an offense equivalent to DUI for those who cause me to have an accident?

Are you telling me that if I get to .09 bac and ride a lawnmower on the sidewalk, at the break-neck speed of 7 mph, that I’m a hazard worthy of a DUI violation?
