"Hiring Adam was the best decision after I was charged with 4 tickets for a DWI. It took Adam just one court appearance to convert all the tickets into a minor DWAI with minimum charges. He always made sure I was relaxed and he would take care of me like a younger brother. I've no words to thank him for what he has done for me!"

Get ready to be bored. Someone sent me an article about 'golf cart DWI' and I feel like I need to write this down.
Can you be charged with DWI in a golf cart?
Yes, under certain circumstances.
If you operate a golf cart while intoxicated on a public highway, or in a parking lot with four spaces or more that leads to a public highway, then you can be charged with DWI. A golf cart is a motorized vehicle, and therefore subject to the same laws you would have to obey if you were driving a car or truck.
As I thought about this, I thought of the law pertaining to snowmobiles and referred back to N.Y. Parks Rec. & Hist. Preserv. Law § 25.24:
No such person shall operate a snowmobile upon a street, highway, public trails, lands, bodies of water, or private property of another while he or she has .08 of one per centum or more by weight of alcohol in his or her blood, breath, urine, or saliva, as determined by the chemical test made pursuant to the provisions of subdivision six of this section.

What is the difference between a snowmobile and a golf cart? I think I know the difference, and I'm sure you think you know too. But there isn't a definition of a "snowmobile" in the law. This is what Merriam Webster says:
Definition of snowmobile : any of various automotive vehicles for travel on snow; specifically: an open vehicle for usually one or two persons with steerable skis on the front and an endless belt at the rear
So, could you be convicted of DWI for driving on a frozen lake with a golf cart if a jury decided the golf cart constituted a snowmobile? Anything is possible. I suggest that none of us operate any motorized vehicle while drinking under any circumstance. Be careful.
