FR Interesting how something so simple can turn in to multiple arguments from multiple sides, many of which are not even on topic, just related in some strange way. In the OP, there were statements made, and only one question posited: quote:
So according to the state "WHAT" is officially "motor vehicles"? But the OP answered their own question when they posted the statute by which the state defined a motor vehicle. So I don't understand why the question needed any further answers. It becomes rhetorical. I don't see what the whole shoe thing has to do with the question that was asked; At least not without "stretching" and "twisting" the terms and such to fit, but one can stretch and twist almost anything to fit their needs. However, I am going to address the whole shoe issue, anyhow.. How is a shoe (or pair of shoes) considered a device which transports? Again, if you want to stretch/twist things, you can say it is the shoes which transport/convey your body from point A to point B. But then we could also say that it's not the engine nor the containing frame and body that transports a car from point A to point B, it's the tires that do the transportation. Therefore, you can try getting out of a DUI by arguing that the tires are not self-propelled, and therefore you were not operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. It's be interesting to see someone get out of a DUI making such an argument. So really, can someone clearly and irrefutably show that shoes are a form of transportation/conveyance, rather than just protective coverings of the feet? It's the legs and feet which I believe most would agree are the method by which transportation occurs, and they do not classify as "device in, upon, or by which any person or property is or may be transported or drawn".. unless, again stretching things, that you are a man-made device because your mom and dad did the dirty to "create" you and are therefore man-made. See how easy it is to stretch things in to absurdity?
