Pacific Northwest - OR,WA,BC

The problem is, we're not speaking generally. We're talking about the BC MVA, which sets out specific definitions for terms (e.g. "vehicle") and then specifies both allowances and prohibitions for how objects like "vehicles" can operate on public roads and such.

The article suggests there's a consensus that EUCs don't fit within a permitted category under the MVA, so the rule of leniety doesn't come into play.
