Driving under influence. Of alcohol usually

So just a drunk doing stupid drunk things in traffic?
Not even half as funny any more...

Well, with a toy Barbie Jeep. The funny part is getting the DUI for driving a toy car, rather than for driving a real car (which is not funny and endangers others). This is akin to getting a ticket for walking drunk, because the toy car in question can't go very fast, nor does it fall over like a bicycle, so it's actually safer than drunk cycling.

I had a friend in college who was ticketed for riding his bike while drunk.
