DUI / DWI

cycling under influence (CUI)

Some states have laws against riding a bicycle on a street or highway while under the influence of drugs or alcohol (cycling under the influence, or CUI). Other states apply traditional DUI/DWI laws to cycling while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. And some states don't have a specific CUI law, and don't apply traditional DUI/DWI laws to riding a non-motorized vehicle, such as a bicycle.

In the state of Mississippi, traditional DUI (Driving Under the Influence) laws apply to motorized vehicles, and there is no specific statute that addresses Cycling Under the Influence (CUI) for non-motorized bicycles. However, while there may not be a specific CUI law, cyclists could potentially be charged under public intoxication or disorderly conduct statutes if their behavior while under the influence poses a danger to themselves or others. It is important for cyclists to be aware that even without a specific CUI law, their actions on the road can still have legal consequences if they are found to be impaired by drugs or alcohol.
