Horses and Buggies on the Road
N.D.C.C. § 39-10-02.1 — a rider or a buggy has a driver's rights and duties
Along with any special regulations, every person riding an animal or driving an animal drawn vehicle on a roadway has all the rights and duties of the driver of a vehicle under the chapter, except those provisions that by their very nature can have no application.
Who handles this in North Dakota: legal aid programs and the state offices, listed in the North Dakota directory.
Which lamps a buggy carries at night, and whether the impaired driving law reaches a rider, are not settled by this section. A particular ticket is a question for a licensed North Dakota attorney.
