They can't get points on their drivers license, their insurance rates won't go up, etc. Sort of the same applies to Handicapped Parking Spaces. Those spaces are reserved for cars - registered vehicles that pay taxes. The legally required number of handicap parking spaces in related to the number of registered vehicles (somehow, in a way I don't even pretend to understand). How can unregistered golf carts take up handicap parking spaces and what is the penalty if they do and get a ticket? Just interested because I really do not know the answers.

Did anyone see the hysterical video going around emails on the net of the rural Southern fella who is putt-putting down a country road on a riding lawnmower; the guy is plastered, gets pulled over (apparently not for the first time) by the police (all on video), gets arrested for DUI, pitches a fit.... I wont tell you the ending. I think one can even get a DUI on a bicycle although one has to wonder where this ends??? Can you be arrested for roller-blading while drunk? How about a Segway?
