DWI is not an offense limited to cars and trucks. You can be charged with DWI if you are operating a boat (NYS Navigation Law 49-a), snowmobile (NYS Parks & Rec Law 25.24), tractor, or yes... even a street sweeper. WABC-TV in New York City reported that 48-year-old Brooklyn man was charged with Aggravated DWI and Aggravated Unlicensed Operation for allegedly leading police on a slow-speed chase... with a street sweeper. Locally we have seen people charged with DWI on lawn tractors.

Although it sounds almost silly, the truth is that the charges are still serious. Law enforcement can face unusual obstacles when prosecuting cases like these.
