DWI and lawmower

[reynoldston]

The afternoon got away from you and just maybe you just might of have a few too many of you favorite adult beverages. Now you want to mow your own lawn. Do you think that the law should be able come on your own land and give you a DWI or just what should the law be?

The law should not be able to get you for dwi but maybe they should be able to give a dumb a-s ticket

I couldn't understand anybody who would drink and mow!

A mower is dangerous you know.

I've never drank and operated the mower, but I did operate the mower after taking a hay fever tablet once which must have made me quite dazed because a few hours after mowing I went outside to get some fresh air and there were about three patches I'd missed and the lines were all squint...

After that I bought some Non-Drowsy hay fever tablets!

Do you really think they would have a right to come on your own private land and give you that endangerment ticket unless they had another reason? Now I can understand if you were on public land you could get a DWI.

If there were other people around, like your family or kids. And you were possibly putting them in remote danger I bet they'd come stop you. But I think it would need to be reported by someone. How would they know if you were drunken mowing unless somebody called them?

In Virginia, technically they can arrest for for public consumption if people can see you drinking in your front yard. This law probably predates the United States and is only likely to be used if the police officer or one of your neighbors is a real jerk or you're acting like a real jerk. However, I'd made a long habit of only doing one dangerous thing at a time, so I save the cold ones until I'm done mowing, chainsawing, shooting, reloading, boating, welding, whatever. May be dull, but I still have all my body parts, eyes and hearing.
