		<description>Although in the common usage a boat may be a vehicle, is is not for the purpose of traffic laws. 

s. 316.003 - Definitions
(75)  VEHICLE.--Every device, in, upon, or by which any person or property is or may be transported or drawn upon a HIGHWAY, excepting devices used exclusively upon stationary rails or tracks.

And your are certainly correct that bicyclists are operating vehicles and must obey all applicable traffic laws.

s. 316.2065 -Bicycle Regulations
(1)  Every person propelling a vehicle by human power has all of the rights and all of the duties applicable to the driver of any other vehicle under this chapter, except as to special regulations in this chapter, and except as to provisions of this chapter which by their nature can have no application.

If you know of statutes about bicyclists and the loss of a drivers&#039; license, please provide that information.   Let&#039;s try to stay on point in this string though, since this site is intended to discuss the laws as they relate to bicycling.</description>

		<description>Can&#039;t really say anything about it having to do with relation to bicycle law or not, BUT let me give you an example....

If you are riding a bicycle, DRUNK, you CAN and WILL lose your Driving Privaleges if you have a DL already.

If you are riding a BOAT drunk, you CAN and WILL lose your Driving Privaelegs...

With NEITHER of those, do you NEED a DL to ride/drive, however, a judge can and will revoke your license for DUI infractions.

It&#039;s a matter of law, that a Judge, within his right, can suspend or revoke your driving privaleges, for any reason.  The rationale is, that driving is a PRIVELEGE, NOT a right, and to &quot;punish&quot; you a judge can revoke that privalege at his/her discretion... Ask ANY officer, ASA or Judge, and you will get the same answer.


Since a Boat and A Bicycle are BOTH Vehicles, you still must obey any and all laws regarding VEHICLE LAW...

I will try to find specific statutes for you to display...</description>

		<description>&quot;Any reason&quot; seems to cover a lot of territory.  Since the purpose of this web site is to discuss the laws, can you provide legal substantiation for that statement?  Are there any statutes, ordinances or regulations that support that?  Particularly as they might relate to the question at hand, a cyclist&#039;s crash.
    
There are a number of offenses in Chapter 322 that are cause for revoking or suspending a driver&#039;s license.  Failure to take a breath test, theft of a motor vehicle, certain alcohol or drug offenses of a minor, and others.  None indicate that a traffic crash of a bicyclist is just cause for removing a license.

I don&#039;t claim to know enough about the judicial system to know if a judge can remove a drivers&#039; license for &quot;any reason&quot;.  The post above was to indicate that traffic citations of a cyclist will not affect the motor vehicle drivers&#039; license through the usual point system or financial responsibility.</description>

		<description>From what I know, a judge  can remove your driving license privilege for ANY reason, including anything that has nothing to do with motor vehicles.</description>
