Not the same but I've gotten tickets in NYC for running red lights on a bike. I bet there are a lot of laws in place where bikes are treated exactly the same as automobiles.

In California you can get a DUI on a bicycle, because bicycles are defined as "vehicles" in the state vehicle code. It's the stuff of legend in bicycle-heavy college towns like Davis.

Really? That's amazing - how does that happen? You just happen to do it right in front of a cop who then flags you down?

You do it in front of a cop who needs to make his quota!

Kind of. Cops on bicycles looking out for those running red lights.
