If you have been drinking.....and you get in your car and go to sleep without driving somewhere....is that illegal???
I assume that if you are behind the wheel, even if the car is shut off in a parking lot, it is illegal???
Thanks for your help (no...you probably won't believe me but I did not do this....but trying to answer the question for someone)

Depends on a few different factors. Part of the verbeage of Arizona's DUI law is "actual physical control" of a motor vehicle. Driving down the road is not the only way to get a DUI here.

It's possible. You'll have to wait and see if we've got anyone from Michigan here that can answer that.

What do you mean by illegal? If you mean DUI the answer is no.
To be charged with DUI you would have to be in immediate actual physical control of a motor vehicle that is in motion or has its engine running.Last edited by Silver Fox; 10-08-09 at 06:59 PM.

Yes it's illegal although in court you could probably weasel it out.
