DUI on horseback...True or False?
Sorry, a trick question!
True UNTIL July 1, 2006:
SOUTH DAKOTA CODIFIED LAWS
TITLE 32. MOTOR VEHICLES
CHAPTER 32-23. DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE
SDCL 32-23-22. Chapter not applicable to person riding animal or foot-pedal conveyance. The provisions of this chapter do not apply to any person who is riding:
(1) A horse or other animal; and
(2) A bicycle, tricycle, or other unpowered foot-pedal conveyance.
Source: SL 2006, ch 170, § 1.
Because the statutory definition of a "vehicle" is "a device in, upon, or by which any person or property is or may be transported or drawn upon a public highway, except devices moved by human power or used exclusively upon stationary rails or tracks; including bicycles and ridden animals" the DUI laws applied to bicycles and horses [or mules, dogs, cows, or any other critter you could ride].
The legislature thought that went a little too far, apparently, and exempted bikes, trikes, and animals in 2006.

Correct. Prior to July 1, 2006, the DUI law applied to animals and pedal/foot powered conveyances - horses and bicycles! |

Ooh! I might have a good one!
What characteristic does Pierre have that no other state capital in the United States has?
HINT:It doesn't have to do with size or population either!  |

well, I guess I got you all stumped! The significance that Pierre has to South Dakota that no other state capital has is that it is the only capital that does not share a letter with its state!
PIERRE
SOUTH DAKOTA
No letter is the same! 
I WIN!!! Haha! |

Crap! I never would have gotten that one. I was looking at "On the river". Nope, lots of them are. In about 10 years I would have figured it out though.  |

I figured it was because it wasn't on the interstate highway system - but then I remembered Juneau, Alaska! |
