Michigan does to, maybe even more extreme testing of this water, looking at 
possible "intent" to enter a public roadway, but not actually entering it.  I 
remember intently reading a case in a local northern MI paper a couple years 
ago where a man was convicted of drunk driving even tho he stopped short of the 
public roadway (at the end of his driveway when he saw the cop).  

nice.

And yes, the NH courts have found that the statute encompasses the operation of 
a motor vehicle on a private drive, when the same is commonly and reasonably 
accessible to the public.

NH - where every case appears to be both precedent and non-binding, recorded 
or not.
