He is not driving. Driving requires a license. No license is required to operate a lawn mower.

It does if you're in the road.

He is trying to mow the grass. He is just missing because he is drunk.

Public intoxication. Case closed.

From what I gather, if you are mowing your private property, you safe for the most part. There might be open container laws, but I don't know too many riding mowers with cup holders.

QuoteShoeder drove his riding mower on the paved shoulder of a city street, and was stopped and arrested for OWI in violation of § 346.63 after police were tipped off that Shoeder had an active warrant and was drinking in a tavern. (¶¶2-4). He moved to dismiss, arguing his riding mower is not a "motor vehicle" for purposes of § 346.63.

Sure, he acknowledges, a lawn mower meets the admittedly broad definition of "motor vehicle" under § 340.01(35) and (74)—any self-propelled device by which a person may be transported or drawn upon a highway. (¶¶10-11). But those statutes also say an "all-terrain vehicle" under § 340.01(2g) is generally not a motor vehicle, and, he claims, his lawn mower is really an ATV; thus, instead of being prosecuted under §§ 346.63 and 346.65, he should be prosecuted under the (comparatively more lenient) scheme that covers OWI with an ATV (§ 23.33(4c) and (13)(b)). (¶¶5-6, 8-9).

QuoteIs a lawnmower considered a motor vehicle? This question recently appeared before our Court of Appeals when considering the motor vehicle theft statute.

A couple recently had their Craftsman, gas-powered self-propelled riding lawnmower stolen near Leavenworth. The defendant was immediately caught and subsequently charged with Theft of a Motor Vehicle.

But the issue that came up was whether a riding lawnmower is considered a "vehicle" under this theft statute. It's clear that an item was in fact stolen, but was it legally considered a "vehicle"? The Court said no, it was not. The defendant could be charged with another theft crime, but under the applicable statute not of a "motor vehicle."

Don't know if there are different mowers for different states, but damn near all the riding mowers in Texas have a cup holder. Don't think they would sell without it.

Laws vary by state. Here in Ca, yes, driving a lawn mower on the street is illegal, as is many states.
Oklahoma makes it clear, they can arrest your ass if you get on a lawnmower drunk and hit public streets.

Freedom!

I got pulled over riding without my helmet in a parking lot, I said this is private property, he said so what...
I actually had this cop tell me if I was on my motorcycle on my own property and not wearing a helmet, he could arrest me.

I said you have my address, I dare you you to come out and try. The ticket was dismissed because I demanded a jury trial.
