Tiger Woods Gets Plea Deal In DUI case

Tiger Woods struck a plea deal in his DUI case, pleading no contest to reckless driving and refusing to take a urine test. The deal included Tiger pledging not to drive a motor vehicle for the next 5 years. And the judge fired off this warning to Tiger in court "There are no exceptions. If you were to drive for any reason at all, you would go immediately back to jail. In Florida, a golf cart is considered a motor vehicle. As you may know, Tiger has gotten behind the wheel of his golf carts, especially during practice. Any misstep with a golf cart could land the former champ behind bars. In California, for example, a golf cart under 1300 pounds is not considered a motor vehicle, but rather a "specialized recreational vehicle." So, for instance, a tourney at Torrey Pines, owned by the City of San Diego, might be an exception, but Tiger would be playing with fire. The Florida judge could say the relevant law is Florida and in that state a golf cart is a motor vehicle.
