Bold, T., Aplt. v. Dept of Trans Bur of Driv Licen

Summary

Justice Mundy dissents from the majority, holding that the statutory term “operate(s)” in §§ 3802 and 1547 does not require proof that a vehicle was in motion and that the evidence of Bold’s control of his parked car satisfies the statute. He argues that each trigger word—drive, operate, and actual physical control—must be given its own meaning under plain‑language construction. The dissent therefore would affirm the application of the DUI statutes to the facts.
