Upper middle class folks in my urban neighborhood in my city are buying golf carts to zip around the city. Primarily it seems to be a way to surreptitiously drink and drive while having friends and family in tow. The owners/drivers are typically easily seen with a beer in hand. It seems to fall along racial lines as only white communities would be able to skirt DUI laws in such broad strokes.

Now I am in a city park and one of these assholes drove a golf cart 200 yards in on grass and dirt directly to park directly at the playground. This seems like a clear, "It's only a problem when other people do it, I'm doing nothing wrong," scenario. Fucking hate these golf carts, especially with the Kei car bans, but primarily because of how they are used and abused. I'm definitely a proponent of alternatives to cars, but this application ain't it.

I dont get how they skirt DUI laws. Where I'm from, you can get a DUI on any mode of transportation including bicycles and kayaks.

My city is very well known for the imbalance of the application of law. One part of town is assumed innocent until proven guilty and the other side is considered guilty simply by how you look. This leads to all sorts of systemic inequities.

If folks of color did this en-masse, it would be sensationalized and clamped down hard.

You could be drunk on a horse that knows its way home and still get one.

If you're riding a horse "home" and it's a different home than your home you have the wrong horse.

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 day ago

You have interesting laws if that's the case. My place specifically mentions motor vehicles, so even bicycles, which can be considered 'traffic,' won't get you a case.

In college I got chunked in the drunk tank for riding my bike buzzed. Did the roadside aerobics perfectly, they cuffed me when I did the alphabet backwards and mixed up M and N. No shit.

[–] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago

I can't do that shit sober.

Here in the UK, a friend of mine got stopped for pushing his motorbike home from the pub because he felt he was too drunk to safely ride it. Rather than recognising he was doing the right thing by walking and not riding, they hit him with drunk in charge and he got points on his licence. Just a reminder that ACAB.

[–] NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk 1 points 6 hours ago

That's evil man. Is personally just have left it there.

I'm in the UK and every winter ride the 5 miles on footpaths to my local town for our Christmas do. I know I could get pulled over but feel the chances are so low ill do it anyway

Why, I never! Who, and I say WHO would ever operate a kayak after drinking?!

I'm appalled you would even make such an accusation.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I say I say BOY! How dare you tarnish my FINE reputation with such slander!

(Um, I not certain I've ever operated a kayak sober, at least later in the day. Which is why my wife drives home.)

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

I used to do it mainly California Sober, but a couple times Oregon Sober was fuuuuuuun!

[–] knacht1@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Roller skating and bikes too.

[–] __siru__@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Kayak? I'm really having trouble imagining how that works. Is that still normal police giving out the DUI or some kind of water police along a beach? Could you explain some more to put my imagination at ease?

Sheriffs patrol the popular waterways around here in boats.
