What about mobility carts for the elderly?

I have nothing to contribute here except sharing my one anecdote about this, which is that I once personally witnessed a guy on one of those electric mobility scooters receive a DUI because he was trundling it down the shoulder of the road, presumably while smelling of beer. Given the individual in question the latter part wasn't much of a stretch. So in some cases, i.e. the ones where the law can be used to harass you, they actually are considered motor vehicles already!

    No argument against what you said, but technically receiving a ticket doesn't mean it's a valid ticket or that you'll be found guilty in court. I have no clue if what you described as legal or not. But I do remember a guy using his riding lawn mower to get back and forth to the bar because he would drive home drunk and he lost his car driving privileges. I don't remember ever hearing if he was ever stopped by law enforcement for driving drunk on it.
