He does sound like he was out of control...

But, somehow, I don't think his driving license should have been involved.  I doubt he was driving what is legally a vehicle.

Drunk driving laws exist to protect folks from a automobile out of control.

If he had been on a pogo stick, would his license have been revoked?

He may have been endangering folks if he was on a public highway or even sidewalk...but he would have been endangering them more on a skate board or running..

If public drunkenness or endangering the public has provisions for revoking a license when no motor vehicle is involved, I'd find that unusual, but I guess it could be said if you get out of control while drunk, pull the license just in case he might drive drunk

Hate to break it to you, but the laws are written the same here.  It is about a driver on a public road, the vehicle doesn't really matter (may need to be motorized, may not).  When I was growing up we had two "town drunks" that would drive their lawn tractors to the bar because they had lost their licenses.  Still got DWI's when they pushed it. 

Yup, my neck is pretty red.

If a Barbe car is a vehicle and not a toy then you should have a drivers license for it. Why isn't it illegal for children to drive? That's worse than a drunk driver.

Underage driver
Unregistered vehicle
No insurance

All could apply IF on the road.

Not to mention neglect and child endangerment to the parents for letting them past the driveway.

No cop would write that up unless they wanted to teach a lesson, but they could.
