With the NHL playoffs just around the corner, Zamboni drivers everywhere may (or may not) be breathing a sigh of relief.
From the Associated Press:
It is not drunk driving in New Jersey if it involves a 4-ton ice rink-grooming machine. A judge ruled the ice-rink machines known as Zambonis are not motor vehicles because they cannot be used on highways and cannot carry passengers.
Zamboni operator John Peragallo was convicted of drunken driving in 2005 after a fellow employee at the Mennen Sports Arena in Morristown told police the machine was speeding and nearly crashed into the boards.... Peragallo appealed, and Superior Court Judge Joseph Falcone on Monday overturned his license revocation and penalties.
