Got stopped by the Police.

Okay I am a rebel.

I was driving my mower down the street and look up to see a county police pickup next to me. I was looking for a bolt and washer I had dropped and he snuck up on me.

My first thought was to jump and run then I remembered I cant run. Then I tought I could go off road with the mower, but he is in a pickup, he will just follow me. I should have tried to evade him and when he caught me I could have said I was just "skeered man." I was ready to go prone.

He looked at me with his JBT sunglasses on then he asked if I had any idea where a local family lived. I gave him directions, no citations and he did not have to taze me. He told me to watch for cars and off he went.

It was a close call and not one I would want to go through again. I never found my bolt and washer.

SOrry you didn't find your washer and bolt. But at least you didn't lose your nuts.

That Steve guy is pretty awesome, I think it's the third video where he's smoking a joint in front of the officer and claims "She hit me in the damn head with a bong!"

I think the question is whether a lawnmower is a motor vehicle by definition.

I'm not sure it matters so long as it was operated on a public road, at least in most venues. Bicycles, scooters, Segways, can all be piloted and driver ticketed if intoxicated.

A guy in Osage county got a DUI riding his horse!.
Seems he had already lost his DL for DUI's, and thought carrying a 30 pack home on his horse was OK. What I heard was he was barely able to stay on the horse he was so wasted.

IIRC it is an "implement of husbandry"

Drunk mower driving could get you arrested for Public Intox, DUI would not apply since it's an implement of husbandry and not a motor vehicle.
