Solicitor recommendation....drunk and in charge of a vechicle.

Or go and sit in the nearest a+e. Not ideal but better than the other options.

I think the whole point of the law here is that they don’t want you in a car drunk. End of story.

Yes but some people can’t see that or understand it, or have to blame the peelers for doing their job....
Pretty straightforward - take a drink, don’t go near your car.

It’s not hard tho is it ...find somewhere else then?
Can’t imagine any scenario someone had managed to get themselves pissed and the only refuge is their car lol
Wee bit of personal responsibility here lol

Northern Ireland is full of small towns with no a and e, no police station, no nothing. If you can’t see how this could happen to someone then you have lived a sheltered life!

“I know, I’ll blame everyone else for me getting into a car full, that’ll get me off” - bound to get a not guilty out of that contest.

From reading this you'd think it's rife with people sleeping in their cars after drinking, I can assure you it's not

A friend of mine got done for being DIC of a motor vehicle for going out to his car to get a new packet of tobacco from his car. He was sitting in the drivers seat rolling the rolly, cops drive past and he ended up with a ban but I think he had points already. He only rolled the rolly in the car because it was lashing outside, under the car was dry and all.

Am I right in saying you can also be done for being full if you're on a pushbike because I now have two pubs that are close to me and was considering a bicycle for the 2 mile hike home?

So why couldn’t he have walked back to the house/pub to roll it? Deserves all he gets for being a ****wit.
And bicycle to the pub? Sounds sensible and safe. And no, a bicycle is not a mechanically propelled vehicle.

Yeah because drinking alcohol is synonymous with logical decision making.....

Are you telling me, you couldn't have 5 pints and ride a bicycle two miles?

I stand by my last comment. I could ride a bicycle many miles, but would I after 5 pints? No because I’m not a ****. Drink driving offences (DIC, excess or unfit) can only be completed with a MECHANICALLY PROPELLED VEHICLE/MOTOR VEHICLE.

Yeah, we’ve seen that already and look how well it’s turned out.

The offence of being drunk in charge of a bicycle carries fines up to £2500, no requirements to submit to breathaliser/blood samples and no penalty points applicable.

Sorry? Don’t know what your problem is on this thread, you’ve argued the part out from the start because you’re not hearing what you want. Maybe it’s time this thread was closed? @Coog @Cooper ?
