Cruzin' Cooler Operator Gets Charged With DWI

[Kyna]

Those coolers top out at 13mph I believe.

The problem I have with the whole thing is that a DWI/DUI conviction will result in the loss or suspension of your license. This applies for someone that's convicted of driving on a bicycle (or cooler, I guess). However, you don't need a license to drive these vehicles in the first place - so why are we suspending driver's licenses when a driver's license has nothing to do with the offense?

Is this true?  If so..

In WI being drunk while riding a bike won't get you a DUI, it's a public drunkenness ticket.  I heard on the radio that this guy already had several DUIs.  In  most places you can get at DUI for being drunk and have the vehicle move.  In some states just putting the key in the ignition can get you a DUI.

I think the idea with suspending licenses for things like this usually only occur if they already have DUIs on their record.  It's probably hoped that a suspended license will finally get their attention.
