Wonder what the Law is for Travel Home & Campervan owners?
Many must sleep in them after a few Jars? Keys must be in the Van so the driver is in control of Vehicle Where will it all end? KEEP PUBLICISING THIS THREAD TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW GENTS & DON'T GET DONE!! Keep Fines & Points to a bare minimum.

Many years ago when proper "Car Phones" were the norm rather than mobiles. I remember several of my colleagues getting a ticking off for using them whilst driving; it occurred to me that they were all holding the receiver in their right hand so it was easily visible from outside the car.
I'm left handed, and I wonder how many lefties have been saved by holding the phone in their left hand where the headrest hides it from behind and it's not easily visible through the off-side window?

The comment you make above would only be valid in very specific circumstances, such as where the Police had reason to believe that the individual had been recently driving. For example, where they had followed a suspected drink driver and were not able to make a safe stop before the suspect parked and went indoors. and I suspect that the comment has been taken (not by yourself) out of context to suit a particular agenda. The Police must have reason to believe that an offence has been committed and they would be required to justify that reason to their seniors, a Crown Prosecutor, and, ultimately, to a Court. I have Police officers in my house on frequent occasions, sometimes in the early hours of the morning, when applying for warrants and although it would, on occasion, have been obvious that I'd had a drink, they would have no grounds to require a screening sample etc. Further, you've met me on several occasions. Do you REALLY think that in the "real world", any prosecutor would dare to stand before my Bench and tell me that the defendant is charged as said, having been woken from sleep, on spec, and arrested for providing a positive screening sample whilst their car was parked in the garage / drive and the keys were found within the premises? No, much as it is tempting to use as a comparison, in my view, any such comparison would be invalid |

I concur with Paul.
Even in the older days, we only went into house if the "suspect" had been followed and not stopped due to no safe place to pull over. We would then go to house. Other times are after a Hit and Run or any crime where person left the scene. The bonnet would be checked on entrance also to make sure still hot (as per our rules) and the "suspect" then asked to take Breathalyser. If the suspect refused he would then be arrested and if found he was drinking the "minute" he walked into house this was also noted, Breathalyzer done or arrested on refusal to supply specimen without the normal reasonable grounds, when a blood sample would be taken instead at station, and the Court would then decide, but not a recommended way to try and get out of Drink Driving as the Courts would generally see this as a attempt to sway results. |

I got pulled by the feds for driving one handed he said I was "not in control of the vehiocle" I asked him how come and his reply was because I was driving one handed.To which I replied I passed my test driving one handed to which he just looked blank at me I had to explain that when I took my driving test you had to give hand signals for left ,right, straight on, and slowing down which meant driving with only one hand on the wheel.This is something they dont do nowadays on the test.
He could not reply to this and let me on my way
