a subway platform (i was mostly just terrified he was going to drive over the edge.)

Which raises the question - is it legal to drive those drunk (it is motorized) ?

Responses:

On the road, yes. I'm not sure about on a subway platform though. -- nm - Roger More Oct 9, 06:31 5

    - I mean location is irrelevant. If you're operating a motor vehicle while impaired, it's an offence whether on a public street, in another public - Roger More Oct 9, 06:43 1
      - ah. gotcha. i thought maybe we wouldn't impose any restricting laws on someone in a wheelchair. -- nm - Andie Oct 9, 06:44

Can vouch for the drunken cyclist one. It's very dangerous. -- nm - Loyola Oct 9, 06:27 1

Depends on the jurisdiction but this article says yes..... -- (link) - Walt_Disney Oct 9, 06:25
Top speed usually determines the seriousness of those vehicles. Still could be cited for causing a scene. -- nm - budice Oct 9, 06:20
Well he obviously couldn't walk. He was far too drunk for that. -- nm - Was Bar Was Oct 9, 06:20 1
