Later on you say "driving". WHat about if, say, you're in the driving
seat in a parked car in a car-park? Or parked at the edge of the road?
Does it matter if the engine is running?

What about in a car in a traffic queue, eg where there's an accident up
ahead and no-one is going anywhere?

What about if the car is parked and you're not in the driver's seat,
but you are still the person in charge of the vehicle? (As for example
people have, I think, been done for drunk in charge when eg asleep on a
back seat.)

What about if you get out of the car - you're still in charge of it?
