PSA: Segways are exempt from DWI laws in MN

[mrsfarmer]

There is a story on the news tonight here in MN about a guy who has gotten out of his second DWI charge Nile on a Segway.  The argument is they are a personal assist vehicle similar to a wheelchair that does not go over 15 MPH.  Party on!

I was watching that too and don't really understand. You can get a DWI on a lawn mower, ATV, etc.. so why not a Segway?

Our taxpayer money hard at work! Now, as long as he doesn't make an 11 inch Subway sandwich while being on it

Well, I hope they start writing him up for public intoxication at the very least. Maybe operating a personal transport vehicle under the influence?
