We joke. But America makes it impossible to travel without a car. No bike lanes or walking paths for long distance travel. Not even sidewalks for most places.

We basically punish people for not owning a vehicle. Truly for anyone disagreeing, if your car broke down and you didn't have another option, how do you get groceries from your house? Or get to work? Now if your disabled imagine that too.

There's almost some validity to this, because I once saw a guy catch a DUI while riding one of those. They are, technically and according to most state laws, vehicles.

The issue here is the choice of venues. Vehicle or not, they are still likely to prohibited from controlled access freeways. As are bicycles, mopeds that are not capable of going highway speeds, farm tractors, horses, etc. and for the same reason.

On surface streets, however, this guy can probably rock on.

In Australia you can get a DUI equivalent for riding a bicycle while hammered.

Depending on the cop that's probably true anywhere

In most places a motorized vehicle on a public road usually requires a license plate.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Not for certain classes of vehicles, notably legitimate farm equipment, electric bicycles (below a certain threshold, anyway), and mobility devices like this.

However you are always as stated subject to some limitations as to where you can operate such things.

How does that little scooter carry his massive steel balls?

I saw a wheelchair user with truck nuts once so I think it's possible

After a bit of digging on Google Images, seems this was taken in New Orleans in 2018 at the US 90 interchange to interstate 10 east.
