i live in az and i just want to know if you can ride a bike home after drinking? it seems to me that this would be a great way to not get a dui!Is it illegal to ride a bicycle home after going to a bar and getting dunk?
Arizona Law (A.R.S. 搂 28-812) "Applicability of traffic laws to bicycle riders"
A person riding a bike on a road or road shoulder is granted all of the rights and is subject to all of the duties applicable to drivers of a vehicle.
You can be cited for DUI and have your driver's license suspended.
You are most likely to kill yourself rather than someone else. I say go ride your bicycle and leave your car safely parked. To avoid a DUI, take a cab.
As cat in a hat said, in Washington State it is not a DUI. Driving Under the Influence refers to operating a motor vehicle while affected by alcohol, drugs, or both.
However, in Arizona, you can be cited for DUI and lose your drivers license.
Yep....If they stay on the sidewalk they will prob be fine but in the street is another storyIs it illegal to ride a bicycle home after going to a bar and getting dunk?
hell no it's not
yessIs it illegal to ride a bicycle home after going to a bar and getting dunk?
Oh god i hope not...
No
Ya sure whatever makes you happy.
You might still get a DUI. People have gotten DUI's on horses, lawnmowers, bikes, and wheelchairs.
probably not, as long as you dont bump into any cars. if you're drunk, you'll probably have trouble balancing..so yeah....
Nah, its stupid isnt it. if yu get caught riding a bike drunk, you can even lose your car liscence
Technically it's not a driving is it. I'm sure legally it would be OK.. Then again I've never tried it XD.
But still riding a bike home drunk is a stupid idea. Fun! -- but stupid.
my friend had a bad fall once doing that....it is best to walk...rather stumble home...
In some states it is, in other states it's not. Some specify that it has to be a motorized vehicle; others don't.
Fact: George Jones (the singer) was once arrested in Tennessee for driving his lawnmower while drunk.
You can actually still get something similar to a dui or dwi while on a bicycle, since riding while intoxicated you can be a danger to yourself or others.
Illegal to ride %26amp; drive if your drunk.
Would be best to catch a cab or let someone (who has'nt drunk) to drive you home.
Regards
No ... until you knock someone.
i saw on tv some guy in america got arrested after driving a bicycle while drunk.
i think you can get arrested for reckless driving but you wont get a D.U.I
I think you can see if there are any on-line AA meetings %26amp; someone could tell you or call your local library or police station %26amp; find out if the laws that apply to a car apply to bike riding %26amp; if they are enforced. If you are publically intoxiacated that might be illegal even if you are walking so I think it is illegal.
If you are drunk and riding a bike in the UK you (I think) will get 3 points on your drivers license and a fine. pretty harsh in my opinion but I guess you could cause an accident on the road if that is where you are riding you bike.
It is still consider a DUI
In Fl. You can get a dui or a dwi. They seem to target the homeless more than anyone else.
Depends on the wording of your state law. Some laws state "motorized vehicle", so a bicycle would skate by. Other laws state, "wheeled vehicle", so a bicycle would be eligible. Other laws state, "a mode of transportation", so you get tagged on the bike or your horse.
Most likely, you would get nailed for Public Intoxication.
If you were riding a bicycleyou were not drunk.
