Think you can't get a DUI on an electric scooter? Think again! š“
ā This is FALSE! Here's what Arizona law actually says:
ā
Electric scooters are considered vehicles under ARS 28-1381
ā
Same DUI penalties apply - up to 5 days jail, fines, criminal record
ā
Cities like Scottsdale have specific scooter DUI ordinances
ā
Over 79% of scooter injury patients test positive for alcohol
Real talk: That "quick ride home" after drinks can land you with a Class 1 Misdemeanor and thousands in fines. Scooter companies market these as safe alternatives to driving, but Arizona law treats them seriously.
One drink + one scooter = potential DUI arrest.
