Interesting, I’ve been told that it’s illegal to sleep in your car in Canada when drunk because being in a car with possession of the keys is enough to show intent to DUI and get arrested.
I imagine it’s something you could fight in court and win with a good lawyer, but it always seemed counter intuitive to me.
IIRC that’s how it works in the US, too. Apparently you’re supposed to leave your keys outside the car if you’re drunk and want to sleep in it (and even then it’s only a court defense, not something that would stop you from getting arrested in the first place).
My understanding is that if the keys are in the ignition, it counts as driving and you’re DUI even if you’re dead asleep. As long as they’re in your pocket, center console, whatever you’re good.
I agree though that it may not keep you from going downtown but it’ll save you from catching the charge (again, I am super not a lawyer, whatever the opposite is, thats me. Don’t take this as fact 😂)

How the fuck does that work with keyless starting cars? Lol
I guess it wouldn’t lol. My last car was an 04 Isuzu rodeo so I don’t know nuthin bout that sorcery. 😂
Simple solution: sleep on the back seats if drunk.

Wtf are you supposed do if it’s cold out? Just die? So stupid.
No. You are not allow to leave your body out in the cold. That is a public health hazard and littering.
