You can get a DUI in a boat that is tied up (this is a favorite at our local Seafair unlimited hydroplane races - boats tied up on the logboom outside of the course - even boats that have not moved for days and are blocked in ten deep have their owners cited). You can get a DUI up in the woods in hunting camp in the middle of the night, asleep in your tent, if the keys are in the ignition or your truck. And on and on... the original intent has been well and truly lost.

These odd ball cases are the ones that get me worked up a bit. Anybody involved with giving a bicyclist a DUI should feel shame
However, there are tons of drunk and dangerous drivers on the road. Its not like its a problem fabricated by "the man". Lots of people die every single week from drunk drivers
