Yes, it’s best to take a cab home or have a designated driver on nights out, not just to avoid getting a fine or jail time but also to be responsible.

One thing that helps is the bars close now at 1030 - the buses are still running. I wonder if the booze patrols are out earlier than 9pm now?

Speaking of which, how many major DUI's has Tiger Woods been in now without a single charge? 3? All clearly under the influence of something. Talk about double standards. So fortunate he hasn't killed anyone yet.

Is it true that even if you merely sit in your car, parked in a designated car park lot along the road, and resting, you could still be considered to be driving for the purpose of DUI?
Yes, you're still in charge of the vehicle.

You cannot be in the car at all.

The locals basically try to abandon their cars if they see a road block coming up (and they are drunk) or if they are in an accident and intoxicated and not on camera (harder now). The cops have to identify you as being in car.

The standards are different when you’re rich and famous.

Exactly the same thing happens all the time in the UK- driver will abandon the car, then call it in as stolen the when they are sober in the morning. “Obviously it was stolen at some time last night officer, whilst I was out with friends”.
