@elvis.bertie: Can you drink alcohol while in your motorhome? It’s a very grey area but here’s what we think! #MotorhomeLife #VanLifeUK #onthisday #overthelimit #drunk
My friend parked at Gloucester services on the M5 over night. Got told by a police officer if he had a drink he would be taking it further

Bristol MC – R v MT
The client was prosecuted for drunk in charge. The statutory defence applied (no likelihood of driving) as he was staying in a camper van with no intention of driving whilst above the prescribed limit. Lewis Perry instructed by Neil Blackaby (reviewing lawyer) persuaded the magistrates to dismiss the charge at the second hearing which was listed for trial.

So what do you do with the keys because if you remove them from your vehicle and hide them you still know where they are.

I’ve always wondered about this! I wish there was something definitive but I think if you are on a campsite you should be okay but I wouldn’t risk it if wild camping because you could get moved on at any time.
