: Structured Settlements 4RealDriving Wheelchair Under The Influence
By John Darer
The adage of "don't drink and drive" applies as much behind the wheel as well as when "on wheels", at least in Australia.
According to an Australian newspaper:
A 64 year old man on a 14 km journey to visit a friend was found asleep in his motorized wheelchair by police in a
turning lane on the Captain Cook Highway at Stratford north of Cairns, Queensland
on Friday morning. The man had 6 times the legal blood alcohol limit when breathalyzed.
The Daily Telegraph quoted police as saying that "People should be aware that drink-driving laws cover these kinds of vehicles, but also others like horses and bicycles" AND motorized wheelchairs.
This begs a question. If you get caught driving an automobile under the influence you can lose your license or even go to jail for multiple offenses. What happens with driving a wheelchair under the influence...do you lose the wheelchair?
