If you're ever drunk and need to sleep in your car, take the keys out of the ignition. It's a DUI if they are still in there.

Here it’s still DUI even if the keys aren’t in the ignition, as long as you’re in the driver’s seat.

Besides, most modern cars don’t have an ignition that requires you to physically insert any keys. Usually it’s enough that the key fob is present in the car.

Source: a workmate did this thinking it would keep him out of trouble vs actually driving drunk. It did not. He still lost his license as if he’d been driving.

I’ve actually heard about the drivers seat thing sounds very familiar

Here even if you are in the back seat and you have the keys you are still screwed.

What if you’re drunk in the trunk ?
