Is a riding lawn mower a motor vehicle?
Most people wouldn’t give the question much thought, and it’s a rare day indeed when a motorist passes a riding mower on a roadway. But it’s a question of enormous consequence to Franklin Lloyd Harris.
well you can certainly get a D.U.I. on one these days...good luck Frankie!
I would lean towards no, but there was a guy in Ohio who made a motorized barstool and was <surprise> a little tipsy when he was driving it down the street and he was ticketed. It was thrown out if I remember correctly and he was offered $3,000 for a stool. If you can get a DUI just being behind the wheel of a car when you don't even have the keys in the ignition, then I guess this is at least consistent with that reasoning.
I would say no, as well, but if a car swerves to avoid hitting it on the road, spins over and kills the driver, I'd say it is as dangerous as a vihicle.
