Those laws are very Australian! Our drink drive laws don't cover bicycles and horse riders, but I'm not certain about mobility carriages since they have a two part controlling law, 4 mph limit on pavements, 8 mph limit on roads.

It may be that the latter subjects them to other motor vehicle legislation.
