Seriously if you are going to sleep in your car (sometimes its unavoidable) please immobolise your car under the bonnet so even if you tried it wouldn't start.

you have to have the keys in the ignition and have the intent to drive. sleeping in your car will drunk is not an intent to drive. any lawyer will be able to get you off.
think you'll find your wrong - if you are in possession of the keys at the time of arrest then you are assumed to have reasonable intent and in any case - your still in charge of a vehicle whilst under the influence!
seen quite a few times on police shows (real police shows etc) letting them off if they are sleeping in the car drunk..I would go with Vibrio on this one..

Yes - you are in charge of the vehicle.
Harsh for sure, but that is the law if someone chooses to follow it.
I'm worried about this neighbour though - why on earth say the car pulled off if it didn't?
i was pissed with corona in my hand at pvs and i was still arranging my car parking 
 that was childish of me

Mav - its my job though, I see this stuff day in day out. Of course the officer can use his common sense and let you off. On the other hand they can be a git and follow the letter of the law...

they can still prosecute and probably would.
