Moped rider defying death
Today I spotted one of those little scooter things which folks who have had too many DUIs drive. The fellow riding it was scooting along in heavy traffic with no goggles, no helmet and talking on his cell and driving the scooter with one hand!

That'd be a "liquor-cycle"...

I find that strange, since they give DUIs to bicyclists regularly.

I've got a couple of them. No license or registration required in Colorado.
I'm curious as to whether law enforcement has ever actually disassembled a moped engine and measured its displacement. There's a lot riding on that one cc. Many people bore them out for additional power.

They must allow a lot more than 50 ccs here.
Come to think of it I bet he drank 50 ccs before getting on it today! Tom W

"they give DUIs to bicyclists regularly."
I didn't know that. Now I'm worried that when I'm climbing a steep hill on my bicycle, get tired and begin to weave a little bit, the cops are going to think I'm drunk. Alcohol is SUCH a bad drug!
