It's official! Sex & Drugs are now part & parcel of a country's GDP. Well you may recall that the Office for National Statistics recently recalculated the size of our national income to take account of unreported or under-reported parts of the economy, such as research and development, illicit drugs and prostitution. ROFLMAO The cultural mantra from the days of my misspent youth... Sex, Drugs, and Rock&Roll... About... Dang... Time... Now if we could start taxing them over here... ID: 1591450 · |

but should not the car manufactures theses days build into the car a way of stopping people from driving in the first place . They do that in many jurisdictions in the USA on people that get DUI convictions. The driver/owner of the car has to, at their own expense, have a breathalyzer installed in their car. But as you point out, it is open to abuse.
That is the way the law is written. The police don't have much of a choice. Drunk person even not inside the vehicle, but near it (in some jurisdictions), in possession of the keys to said vehicle, OR a drunk person inside of a vehicle and the keys inside the vehicle... Both cases, the drunk person is considered under these insane stupid laws to be 'operating' the vehicle. I remember hearing of one drunk guy that got smart and threw his keys off into the bushes before climbing inside his car to sleep it off. Oh, he got hassled by the police, and he might have been convicted of something else, be he did not get a DUI conviction.
Oh they ALREADY do stuff like this in the USA, especially on repeat offenses. It doesn't help.
A lot of bars in the USA will now call you a cab and pay for it if you need a safe ride home. It is seen to be a lot cheaper by the bar owners to pay for cab rides home than to risk being sued if the customer self-drives and kills someone on the way home. It has to come down to personal responsibility at some point, and I see less and less of that in the 21C. You are SO correct on this one. ID: 1591867 · |

Thought experiment: I've been to the pub and am 'well refreshed'. I walk back to my motorhome, get in the back and go to bed. I am now drunk and asleep inside a motor vehicle. Would i be deemed 'in charge' of this vehicle should the police come knocking? If not, how does being asleep in the back of a motorhome differ from being asleep in the back of a car? Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge.

If this motorhome was parked upon a public highway then yes, anyone inside it with access to the keys to drive it would be deemed in law to be in charge. If parked on private land, public land, or official caravan park, that would probably not apply. I don't know about lay-bys, that could be a grey area. I remember on our trip this summer, we couldn't park the motorhome where we wanted to, it had to be in designated places or desert places somewhere in the woods where no one could find us:)) rOZZ Music Pictures ID: 1592952 · |

Since we have gone off on a tangent, there is a special exception in the law for limousines, if the driver's compartment is separate, then in the passenger area booze is fine.
