[quote][i]Originally posted by Gazdaman[/i] I know the answer to this one. The police definition of driving is 'being in control of the steering and propulsion' Also being drunk in charge is separate to driving. "Attempting" to drive. The definition is 'doing an act which is more than merely preparatory to the offence'. So if you fumble the keys into the ignition or similar. Then you'll be done for attempting to drive whilst over the prescribed limit (assuming a breath test is failed). The actual legislation sets out a defence that the accused can prove there was 'no likelihood of them driving whilst over the prescribed limit'. So that means the keys are somewhere else really. It's to combat getting pissed, sleeping in your car, getting up in the morning and driving whilst still over the limit. So long and short. You can do it. Just make sure the keys are elsewhere. Ideally with a mate. If you sleep in the car with the keys on you, expect to get done for drunk in charge. There's case law of a guy who got drunk in a pub. Got his briefcase out of the boot of his car before calling for a cab and was charged and convicted of drunk in charge. [/quote]
