In case you were curious, a horse is not a vehicle


To the tune of the Mr. Ed theme song:
—————————————

“A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
but the Vehicle Code does not divorce
its application from, perforce,
a steed as my colleagues said.
“‘It’s not vague,’ I’ll say until I’m hoarse,
and whether a car, a truck or horse
this law applies with equal force,
and I’d reverse instead.”

Yesterday, this was how Supreme Court Justice Michael Eakin voiced his minority dissenting opinion on a ruling that drunk driving laws do not apply to individuals on horseback.

I wonder if this law applies to those driving horse-drawn vehicles. My guess would be yes, being as it is a vehicle being drawn by a horse. Hmmm….
