[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband did this once in 20 years, also after a work dinner. He never drinks and for some reason decided to keep up with his coworkers so after dinner they went to the bar next door until it closed at 2am. He could hardly walk so he go in the back seat of his car and slept it off. I was absolutely panicked. His phone was dead. I had a 3yo and was pregnant with our second. This was pre-uber days though so idk if this would be likely to happen now that it's so easy to get a ride home on demand.[/quote]

As an FYI to others - you can get a DUI in the back seat of a car too. Not a good option. [/quote]

That seems unfair.   How  do you get a DUI when you aren't operating the vehicle. [/quote]

Being inside the car with thr keys is considered operating it, because you could make the car move. Same reason driving while drunk is a crime even if your car isn't currently violating any traffic laws. [/quote]

Totally depends on the state, but in Maryland, if you're asleep in the back seat, and the car is turned off, and legally parked, it will likely not result in a conviction at trial. The test is much more complicated than "inside with the keys"

Now, I'm sure a lot of people take pleas in those circumstances so they can keep a recommendation for a PBJ.[/quote]

I have a friend in VA who was arrested for drunk driving for sleeping in their car at a Metro station parking lot. It was winter and they had the car on.

Local prosecutor was going to charge them and my friend took a plea deal. Really derailed their life, as they lost their job and home was foreclosed. This was in 2008-2009 period. [/quote]
