The driver *had* the keys and was clearly in charge of the vehicle. There's no getting round that (and she didn't try to, according to the report). The incident happened in the middle of the day (some of the drinking actually taking place in the car) and is not some random accidental miscalculation of the amount drunk in a social situation. She was three times over the limit. The court's order that she "complete a three-month residential stay at .... a addiction rehabilitation centre" is probably the more important part of the story. All in all, it's just another example of Mason's constant vain attempts to read stories in a way to which they just don't lend themselves. |

Do I have my car keys if they are not on my person, for example in my coat pocket hanging up on the back of the door while I am asleep in bed? |

If they are not in your possession, in whose possession are they? I said she did not have them. Yes, you did say that. But she *did* have the keys. Having dropped them onto the floor in front of the driver's seat is not different from having placed them in the glove compartment, or on the passenger seat. It would take an incredible subversion of language and logic to lead to a (faulty) conclusion that she didn't have the keys. The offence of "drunk in charge" (or however it is worded) subsists even where the person in charge of the vehicle is in bed, asleep after a skinful - *if* his vehicle is on the highway. OTOH, there is a statutory defence of it not being likely that he will drive whilst under the influence. Whether that is a useful defence for a person found drunk asleep *inside* the vehicle (and in charge of it) I leave to you. If the law didn't apply in those circs, it's hard to see how it would ever apply. It applies (for instance) when a motor vehicle is parked on the highway outside a house at about 03:00 and the person in charge of it has sunk a bottle or two of red and and is sound asleep in bed. In order to be completely immune from the "drunk in charge" law, it's best to put the car away in the garage or, at least, on the driveway if the garage is full of junk. |
