I've lived in two different small towns in Ohio and both had a guy who used a lawnmower as his sole transportation. I very nearly broadsided mower guy #2 when he "drove" across my path. I was driving my father's full-size van doing about 45 MPH, locked up the brakes, and slid to within inches of him. He never even looked up...
I just assume that in every small town some alcoholic gets a DUI, loses his license, and thinks to himself, "Why not drive the mower to the bar?"
