Don't drink and drive!!!!!!!!!!... Reply #1 – December 16, 2006, 10:38:09 PM I used to do that exact thing at parties in college. I would get so drunk that I knew I had to sleep (pass out), but the party would still be cookin'. I would just go out to the car, crank some music, then pass out with the seat reclined.The thing is, I could have technically been arrested for doing that; especially if I had the engine running to keep the battery charged. You can get a DUI even if you aren't in motion.I'm not sure if the laws are similar up where you are.That's kind of a funny story, though. :D Quote Selected

Don't drink and drive!!!!!!!!!!... Reply #3 – December 16, 2006, 11:56:28 PM If you're in the car drunk with the keys in your possession you can be nailed for DUI even if it doesn't have an engine in it. Ask my father how I know this (it was him, not me - I don't drink). They can even get you on a bicycle, lawn tractor, and even a wheelchair. I personally think it's stupid - if, such as in the case of CougarCragar, you decide you're too drunk to drive so you "sleep it off" you should be encouraged to do so. Instead the laws seem to say "May as well drive home, cuz you're gonna get nailed anyway". I realize they have this law to prevent people from pulling over and jumping into the back seat when pulled over by the police (or similar defences), but the police officers themselves should know better than to arrest somebody for doing the right thing and staying put.

He got busted! Lost his drivers licence, boat registration for two years and tons of fines and costs. Sometimes the police are not your friend, They are not all bad though. Quote Selected

Reply #8 – December 17, 2006, 06:39:43 PM Keys in, engine running and you behind the wheel while the vehicle is in park is considered operation in almost every state. In a lot of states the vehicle does not even have to be running...... Sit in the passenger seat......and use your iPod and headphones for tunes. No keys in the ignition.QuoteIf you're in the car drunk with the keys in your possession you can be nailed for DUI even if it doesn't have an engine in itWhat tool actually slapped cuffs on your dad for that?

Don't drink and drive!!!!!!!!!!... Reply #9 – December 17, 2006, 07:23:01 PM gone are the days of officer discretion. Used to be common sense to "whether I give you a ticket, or I drive you home, and come and get your car in the morning." But alas, no more. Keys out of the ignition and stuffed behind the gas filler flap, lock the doors, and sleep in the back seat. Next morn might take awhile to remember where the keys are, but it's safe. As for tunes, the cost of an ipod, extra car battery, and/or any other means still costs less than a DWI. Quote Selected

In a lot of states the vehicle does not even have to be running...... Sit in the passenger seat......and use your iPod and headphones for tunes. No keys in the ignition.What tool actually slapped cuffs on your dad for that?Prolly about 18-19 years ago my father was coming back out of the woods from hunting in his '87 Pathfinder. He got stuck in a mud hole, so he shifted into 4WD and tried to get out. The truck wouldn't move, but it didn't seem like the tires were spinning, so he got out and put a pebble on a wheel, got back in and tried again, then looked and the pebble was still there. The clutch went away just as quick as that. It was pitch dark out by then, so walking the several miles back to the camp wasn't an option.No problem, he thought - he had a quart of Captain Morgan, a carton if cigarettes, and a full tank of gas for warmth. He promptly drank the quart and got really, really drunk, then started the engine for heat (it was December) and he crawled into the back seat and went to sleep. At some point through the night he was awakened by a tapping on the window - a cop, who was travelling with conservation officers (conservation officers were not allowed to carry guns back then, so they always travelled with a mountie riding shotgun), wanted to talk to him. He stumbled out, the mountie stuck an ALERT tester into his mouth, he failed, and was arrested even though he demonstrated to the officers that the truck was immobilized. The cop said "Doesn't matter if it works or not, it doesn't even need an engine, if you're in it with the keys and drunk you're drunk driving". The conservation officers even tried to convince the cop to let dad go, but he'd hear none of it. The conservation officers even testified on my father's behalf at the trial, and the judge even tore a strip off the mountie for even bringing my father before him under such cirspoogestances, but his hands were tied, the law was the law. He gave my father the minimum sentence and even told him how to get an absolute discharge after the sentence was satisfied, which my father did.Now, in order to appreciate just how much of a prick this cop was: This took place on an old woods road, about 20 miles from the nearest travelled road, and about 30 miles from a house.

Don't drink and drive!!!!!!!!!!... Reply #11 – December 17, 2006, 08:25:18 PM I know some had the same thing happen. He knew he was in no condition to drive so he went to sleep in the back seat. The engine was off but because the keys were in the ignition it was intent to drive. Quote Selected

Reply #12 – January 02, 2007, 09:37:21 PM EH!,But the car is not in a driving condition, no radiator, gas tank removed, and the engine don't start (neutral switch prob or whatever)...Sitted in a chair wit a battery radio or in this Bird is almost the same thing Quote Selected
Don't drink and drive!!!!!!!!!!... Reply #13 – January 03, 2007, 01:06:01 PM That happened to TWO of my cousins. Both sleeping it off. One was pulled off on the side of the road...which is understandable because he had to drive it the side of the road he was on. The other cousin was passed out in the school parking lot after a party and he got nailed. Both of them lost their license for a year. Quote Selected
