He’s also totally wrong. In many states you can be convicted of drunk driving if you are in the car and have the keys. They car doesn’t have to be turned on and it doesn’t have to be in motion.
So by sitting in the car and blowing a .08 or greater you are proving your guilt.
Don’t forget that in certain states, like Massachusetts, there isn’t a BAC law. The officer decides by evidence gathered at the scene, line walking etc. I guess Ted Kennedy won’t have to get one installed.
Great point - here in GA, if a person decides that they've had to much to drink and decide to sleep it off in their car then they are guilty of drunk driving. As long as the keys to the car are assessable to the driver then that is a DUI.
This is a terrible law as it encourages those that have drank too much to try to drive home anyway.
Been there, done that. BTW I pulled off the road to sleep for a while, because I WAS drunk. Woke me up to go to jail. IOW punished me for realizing my condition and choosing safety, I Didnt ever make that mistake again...
