I used to work with an Amish guy. He would regale us with stories from his community. He was once told us he was pulled over for speeding, in a buggy. That led to the can you get a DUI charge? He told us about a guy who was drunk enough that he passed out while 'driving' home. The horse knew where home was, and continued on without incident. Until it ran right through a stop sign, in front of a cop. The cop started to follow the buggy. Shortly there after, the horse got hungry and stopped along the side of the road to eat some bushes. That's when the cop got out to investigate.



One night, back when I was a medic, we were called to a scene to check out a couple guys who had been involved in a wreck. The trooper had them in cuffs sitting in the back of his car. He informed us that they were both drunk and were both being charged with DUI.



We asked how they both could be charged with DUI, and he said he had been following the car for a short while, when it ran off the road, into a ditch, and back out again. At this point the passenger hopped out, pulled the driver into the passenger seat, ran around the car, hopped in, and drove off, just as the cop was walking up to the car. Cop hopped back in his car and gave chase, which the car quickly pulled over, they never even saw the cop. The were both drunk off their ass, and since both had been driving, they were both getting charged.
