A Wyoming man was arrested last week for riding a horse under the influence…in a snow storm.
28 year old Benjamin Daniels was arrested after a concerned motorist rang police saying Daniels was a road risk because it was difficult to see him, on his white horse, in the snow storm.
Police officers pulled Daniels over to explain that he was creating a driving hazard, when they smelled alcohol on his breath. A trip to the local jail for the night, and a blood test later, Daniels was released.
The Edmonton Sun reports that a friend collected the horse.

I had a similar even once when I was driving in a snow storm and the person with a WHITE CAR wouldn't turn on their lights. I flashed my lights for him to turn his on, nothing. After miles of dangerous driving and not able to see the guy, we finally all came to a stop at a gas station and I asked him why he didn't turn on his lights (as required by law during a snow storm).
He said, "I don't have to. I have a sensor on the car that turns them on for me when its required."
What an idiot… I should have filed a complaint with the DAs office and filed charges myself.
