Unknown by many people, alcohol-related charges do not stop at trucks, motorcycles, and cars. Law enforcement officers will be quick to point out that, in certain jurisdictions, using almost any vehicle while intoxicated can become grounds for a DUI charge. This has led to a history of unusual incidents in which intoxicated individuals have been ticketed on a wide variety of vehicles and even animals.

Driving a motor vehicle is inherently dangerous and motorists therefore have a responsibility to conduct their automobiles in a manner that does not unnecessarily threaten the safety of others on or near the roadway. Getting behind the wheel after one has been consuming alcohol is especially risky because it can rob a driver of his or her physical skills and full mental capacity. When an individual's blood alcohol content (BAC) reaches the legal limit, an arrest and prosecution for DUI looms as a very real possibility.
