DUI laws are necessary to deter and punish people from operating motor vehicles while drunk. But, it doesn't have to be a car or truck. Recently, a
Minnesota man was arrested for DUI while--get this--operating a custom, motorized La-Z-boy chair. The blood test came back at a whopping 0.29 BAC. The chair was 'blinged-out' with stereo, cup holders, steering wheel and power antenna. It also had a National Hot Rod Association sticker on the headrest.
The operator crashed it into another vehicle near the bar he had recently left.
The chair was subsequently sold at auction for over $10,000.
