VASSALBORO, Maine – A Maine man has been charged with operating under the influence after he and a friend made a beer run on a riding lawn mower.

Police say 51-year-old Danforth Ross of Vassalboro was charged May 29.

Trooper Joe Chretien had been flagged down by several motorists warning of a wayward mower and made the arrest after Ross and his friend emerged from a variety store with two cases of beer.

Ross' driver's license had been revoked, so the pair opted for the lawn mower.

Ross couldn't be reached for comment.

Ya know, we've got to get a little sanity around our DUI laws... You really should be allowed to drive anything that goes, say less than 20mph and weights less than 200# as drunk as you want. And yes the weight limit would be to keep people from driving a D9 to the liquor store... :sifone:

And I want to go on record now as admitting that I thought this post was actulally going to be about landscaping in Quebec... No? Oui!

Full agreement on this one.
I think you can actually get an oui on a bicycle.
I rode my bike to a neighborhood party once (about 5-6 blocks), and riding home was an adventure, but I wasn't a danger to anyone but myself.
