Georgia lawmaker charged with driving under influence after hitting bicycle in bike lane

Georgia state Rep. Devan Seabaugh is accused of driving under the influence after authorities say he ran into a bicyclist who was riding in the bike lane of an Atlanta street.

Seabaugh faces seven charges, including driving under the influence of alcohol, and driving under the influence of drugs, Atlanta Municipal Court records show.

The Cobb County politician was arrested Thursday night in the Grant Park neighborhood of Atlanta by a Georgia State Patrol task force that targets drunken drivers.

If you made a guess, your guess was correct:

Seabaugh, a Republican, was elected to the Georgia House in a special election in the summer of 2021, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. His district includes parts of western Cobb County and portions of Marietta and Kennesaw.

    Yeah even the article says “bicyclist” while the title just says “bicycle”. Strange wording choice.

    Oh no I meant you were right. The article clarifies it, but the title is still odd the way it only says he hit a bicycle.

    Maybe all cars should have breath test mechanism

    Edit: Eh tbh, self driving vehicles are the better cure for this

    Well, biking while drunk is only less dangerous for others if don’t you veer into traffic…
