Read the thread that was linked about the jock traffic police rocking up to a VW meeting where they're all camping with poptops up camping gear out having bbq's and beer and tried to do them all for drunk in charge! I can only say it seems a bit of a grey area to say the least. | |

I stayed at an ex's once (I know :! ) and after getting half cut at a family BBQ ventured outside to my car (parked on a side street) to get my overnight bag out . A copper came along and told me if I was to open the car door (as the bag was in the back seat) and not the boot he could do me for drink driving. So I gave the keys to him and asked him to remove everything out the car I wanted. Then I took his shoulder number :lol: | |

I have a mate who is a lawyer and if he is out on the piss and has to go back to car to get something, he always makes a point of using the passenger door and never the drivers door. | |

I like a beer on my days off and as we go out on our days off the idea of going the night before is like a win win for me. Still have a few and still go out the next day on the bike. I should add though this isn't totally about me being an alcoholic! The new drink driving limit in jockland make it a bit of a risk north of the border. | |

..Oh and clearly if a copper was to be a c**t about it and you took it to court being able to show you were laying in bed watching TV in the back of your camper rather than sat in the drivers seat of a car with the engine running is a pretty valid excuse :D | |

I think you just need to show that you have no intention of driving, i.e. the keys are away somewhere (not in the ignition or in your pocket) and you have a valid reason to be stopped over. | |

Me and a few mates camped out the other month at a MTB event. Was a good laugh and we got pretty pished. We also saw alot of folk in various levels of camper vans. |
