    around here, people use “alternate” vehicles, like atv, snowmobiles, lawn mowers and tractors, etc. to get to the bars because they lost their license. have not seen a forklift parked outside of one, though----yet.

      Did they lose their cars too?

      Driving a lawn mower on a public road would be just as illegal as driving a car right? Just more suspicious actually.

        some of their cars and trucks may still be wrapped-around a tree or in a ditch, or were impounded. and you can get ticketed for driving them without a license, but you can’t get a ticket for cruising down the road on a lawn tractor without one (afaik, you could still get a dui though).

            This. A lot of kids drove golf carts to the pool and stuff, but while that would be semi-legal in their gated community, they had to cross a public road where even licensed drivers would be breaking the law. No one seemed to care though. I’m fairly certain it’s illegal in most US states.
