Message: [QUOTE="Jason Simmons, post: 3103118, member: 8275"] This. The offence is contrary to section 79 of the Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act. It’s the same offence whether you are driving, in charge or attempting to put in motion a vehicle, tram, vessel etc. Reportedly he was 2.5x the legal limit, so a mid-range reading somewhere around 0.125%. Can’t remember the case law off the top of my head, but to be deemed ‘in charge’ at the law, usually requires you to be inside the vehicle with the keys present. The old rule of thumb of sleeping on the backseat with the keys in the boot, etc used to be a reasonable defence. Not sure if that is currently the case, but allegedly in the ignition with the engine running is never going to work out well for them. Paid $500k a year? Get an Ubër or a Didi. It’s not hard...
