some of you guys are fools.
It was warm for this part of the season, that night...barely would need a light coat (if that) and sure as hell not cold enough to where you would need to be running your car for the heater.
So...
If you sleep with the car running....it's because you're drunk and passed out...plain n simple. I've done it, regrettably speaking......If you pull to the side and the car is off and you sleep....that's a different story..because the mother****ing car isn't on.
Either way, the law is written to where even if you have your keyes on you and you're IN THE CAR....ANYWHERE, and have been drinking you can get a DUI. Had a buddy get a DWI because he laid down in the crew cab of his truck and had a sleeping bag and went to sleep...literally. And he was really hammered and in a parking lot of a bar. We bailed him out like at 5am because cop came up to his truck and knocked on the window til he woke up and of course the whole truck reaked of alcohol.
