    Very much depends on the state. Here in Massachusetts, the charge is operating a motor vehicle under the influence (OUI). I’m pretty good friends with an assistant DA, and she assures me that my bike is not a motor vehicle.

    Regardless of the state, I’d imagine that a decent lawyer could have helped your friend out.
