"The amendments stipulate penalties for slow vehicle operators, including bicycles, electric bicycles and tricycles.
One slow vehicle operator had a blood alcohol level in excess of the legal limit and and five others refused to take a breath test, the agency said.
Slow vehicle operators would be fined NT$600 to NT$1,200 for drunk driving and NT$2,400 for refusing to undertake a breath alcohol test, it said."
So be careful if you ride your bicycle, horse or scoot!
TT
It seems unicycles are not covered?

What if you drive fast on a slow vehicle?
What if you drive slow in a fast vehicle?
357 caught over the limit on a Monday night! Shudder to think how many are driving/riding around over the limit on the weekend when there is no special crackdown.

How come refusing to take the test has double the punishment?
I have been accused of that before …by Race spectators

if you mean NT$600 to NT$1,200 is cheap, it is for bicycles etc.
NT$15k to NT$120k for cars and bikes may be still cheap, though.
If cars or bikes drivers refuse the test, the fine is NT$180k. NT$360k for the second time.
I heard something more like 80-100k

I’ve been wondering, if I ride a horse and that horse was drunk… does that count as DUI?
I’m riding my bike around the beautiful small lanes of Tainan tonight.
Lots of small hidden pubs.
Thinking I better not stop and have drinks along the way knowing that Taiwan even gives 5-year olds on bikes breathalyzer tests
I heard this already from a TW friend, but I couldn’t believe it until it popped up in today’s English news.
This is soooo typical Taiwanese.
If I would be the parent, I would sue the TW government for introducing and approving such (sorry for the word) bullshit.
