Traveling home after drinking can result in both bodily harm and legal consequences for Missoula residents, whether in a car or a wheelchair
A representative from the Motor Vehicle Division in Helena said a wheelchair user could possibly be cited with a DUI if they are on the street, because they are in a moving vehicle. He said that the user could also be cited for public intoxication.
University of Montana Public Safety director Jim Lemcke said that although he’s never written a ticket for someone in a wheelchair being in the road, officers could cite someone for being a “danger.”
