In Florida, there are DUI convictions from operating motor boats and motorless bicycles. You receive exact same penalties as if operating an automobile.

So if you get a DUI for riding a bicycle, does your Auto Insurance go up 150% for the next 5 years as well?

Both are reasonable to me. Especially the motor boats.

Yeah. It happened here in Stuart that a man who had lost his license to drive was picked up and convicted for DUI while riding a bicycle.

Its just that the court was puzzled that the only thing that they could do to him was take away a DL that he had already lost for life. :)

Before anyone starts with the “why can’t they fine or imprison him??” stop. - They tried but but lack the legal basis to do so.
