If your stopping over in your MH and youve had a couple of beers,can you still get done for drinking and driving?

if you drink enough to be over the limit the night before driving, most of that alcohol will still be in your system next day. basically though if your on a campsite and keys are put away, your unlikely to be breathalysed. unlike if you park in a layby or public carpark, where you could reasonably be expected to be told to move on
[HI]can you afford to throw your licence away by being caught driving or in charge of a vehicle whilst over the drink drive limit?[/[/HI]QUOTE]
More importantly should anyone else have their life thrown away because someone is drunk in charge of a vehicle.
It is not a matter of getting away with it, its a matter of how much value is placed on another person's life.

completely agree, being the victim of a drunk driver 20 years ago, which left me with a broken back and other injuries that we are still coping with today. I like the occasional drink but wont touch a drop if I am to drive in the next 24hrs, its the only way in my opinion, but I dont force it on others
Not to make light of this but I often wonder how people wild camping get on with this as most of the people I have met so far that overwinter in Spain / Portugal etc ...Mark

I am a gasman, a few years ago we had unknowingly taken on an alcoholic. A customer reported him to us and told him to leave (he had arrived very drunk for an 8.00 am call) the customer also reported him to the police. They found him a mile down the road asleep in the van. But because he had gone to the rear door to get his vodka, and left the key in the lock outside. they could not charge him. but they did take him away from the van, which we then collected.Not to make light of this but I often wonder how people wild camping get on with this as most of the people I have met so far that overwinter in Spain / Portugal etc all talk of having parties and BBQ's and more than a fair share of wine and beer. Now it would seem to me that they are handing themselves on a platter to the local plod but I've never heard of anyone getting nicked so far. I have a totaly seperate cab / habitation area and wondered if I was to overnight for a few days on a pub carpark how I would stand legally if I handed over my cab / engine keys to the landlord and only had the key to the habitation area, have to say I havn't taken the chance so far......Mark
after reading this i think my van is for eBay. its getting worse.
