Police: Drunk Man Crashed Motorized Bar Stool

NEWARK, Ohio — A man faces charges after police said he crashed a motorized bar stool while under the influence of alcohol. According to a news release issued Monday by police, the crash occurred on March 4 along Kelley Lane, located north of downtown Newark.
The release said that an officer was responding to an injury crash when he discovered that a motorized bar stool had been wrecked along the road. An investigation revealed that an intoxicated 28-year-old was operating the bar stool when he crashed, police said.

SLIDESHOW: Images From Report

According to court records obtained by 10TV News, Kile Wygle admitted to drinking about 15 beers before hopping on the bar stool and driving down the street, 10TV’s Andy Hirsch reported.
Wygle apparently told police that the bar stool could reach speeds of 38 mph, but he said the contraption was only traveling 20 mph at the time of the crash.
He was issued a citation for OVI and driving under suspension, investigators said.
Wygle has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

in the USA I think it is legal to drive it whilst sober (or below whatever limits they have) provided he keeps to traffic laws….

here in England someone built a easy chair on to a motorbike frame and drove it through an East Midlands town. It wasn’t long before the traffic cops stopped him but there was a happy ending – some motor enthusiasts got in touch and helped him get the chair approved through VOSA (our vehicle safety authority), registered, taxed and insured and so it was allowed back on the road!

the metal is badly rusted steel – clearly he spent too much time drinking to put a protective coating on the tubing :laugh_at:

motorised bar stools are common in the USA but new ones can be $2000-$3000!

you can build one here but unless you are going to drive it on private land you need CBT, it needs to be limited to the same power as a small moped and the vehicle to be put through VOSA (this costs about £78). I actually have all the contact details for this from a bike forum!

If you power the bar stool using electric instead of a petrol engine its exempt from road tax :laugh_at:
