Lawyer Explains Why Driving Drunk in a Golf Cart Can Get You Arrested in Michigan

🚨 GOLF CART DUI in Michigan? YES—Here’s What the Law Actually Says!

You just had a few drinks and decided to take the golf cart or side-by-side for a spin through the neighborhood or down to the beach. No big deal… right?

👉 WRONG. In Michigan, you can be arrested for Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) even if you're not driving a car or truck. That’s right—golf carts, ORVs, and side-by-sides are all covered under Michigan’s DUI laws when driven on public roads, even if your local town or city allows it.

📍 In this video, Michigan criminal defense attorney Keith Stickley explains:
