Driveway The Villages
 

New to Florida and I was wondering about law. since there are many here who can find it, on sitting drunk or with drink in cars on your property.

On my driveway (not in the garage) can I sit in my Mercedes with a couple friends, at night, listening to music, chatting and drinking. No key because Benz.

I ask is because With a lot of people over, sometimes, you want o go into the car, chat, have AC, and listen to music.

I have seen that people get arrested drunk and car on.

We would be playing music, having a great time. Car would never be in gear and never move. Just need the engine to get the AC running full on.

I don't know the laws. The neighbors would not mind and never hear anything.

:jester:

I’m speechless!

Why not go into your home?

Others are in the house, want a small group privacy.

call the sheriff and ask him, other than that I too am speechless, wow.

I think that it might be legal in a domestic car but not in a Benz !

Never heard of such a thing.

My GUESS, in any vehicle with an open container you are asking for trouble.

If this is/was a serious post by the OP, it hands down has to be the most absurd question ever asked. Basically, is it ok to sit in a vehicle which is running, and either be intoxicated, and/or consuming alcoholic beverages. Despite the absurdity of adults sitting in a car in the driveway listening to music and drinking, this still is clearly beyond comprehension.

You could always do it with the car in the garage...so neighbors wouldn't even see you.




:D

I think an open container in a parked golf cart in the square is a violation. My guess is you would have a problem in your driveway with the motor running. I would also ask your neighbors if your music is too loud.

It might be worth trying in your neighbor's driveway before you do so in your driveway . But never in a Benz especially if it is an E-Class or higher and if you paid cash .

Just don’t run the motor to keep the battery charged while inside the garage with its door down.

You could have a designated driver sit in the drivers seat...:thumbup:

Need the air conditioner though.

Personally, if I were your neighbor, I would mind!

Sounds to me like you would be asking for possible trouble. You either need to invite less people over or get a bigger house.

:oops:I looked up the law, it's legal only if everyone in the car is stark naked and smoking weed.

On another note, while reading your post, I think you've already "Been there, done that". Are you stoned right now?:loco::loco:

Both of these.:BigApplause:

......and asphyxiate yourself at the same time!:beer3:

OK.

First - This is not the place to ask if something you are about to do is legal. You will get lots of answers, but how can you be sure any of them are accurate.

Second - If you are from up north and not used to our summer humidity, I can understand wanting to sit in air conditioning. Is it a little strange to sit in a car? Sure, but not worth an insult. Maybe try one of those cheap box fans.

I see the jester at the bottom of your post so I think you are shining us on.

I think you should be committed. Sitting in your car. OMG

sitting in car on own property
 

If you do decide to put the car in the garage, make sure the garage door is open or you and friends may overdose on CM poisoning!

More like mooning

thats the kind of thing I did alot when I was 16, minus the booze, most of the time......

takes me back......

now I own homes and if I want to drink and play music.....with friends....I do it in the house...

Seriously, TV is much too nice and classy a place to be doing what you want to do. This is not good for you or the neighborhood.

Why not just buy an RV instead of a MB? You can park it for 3 days as long as you don't plug it in so get one with a generator and park it in your driveway
when you have guests. Be sure to include your neighbors to prevent any complaints.

Dear New Englander, don't be stressed, Chi33 is pulling our collective legs and yanking our chains. He was KIDDING.

I like the RV idea. Everything tastes better in an RV or on a boat.

Good catch!:doh:

I've heard of man caves but not man cars.

LOL, That rascal fooled me.

Wow, you must really dislike your house, or, the people who you would leave in the house, or both!:censored:

Well, then he got me.

I think what he asking is can he get DUI, DWI, PT setting in his car in his drive way on private property ? IMO I would not want to be in car with opened container or empty container no matter where I'm setting. the reason IMO once the LEO writes ticket or arrests you are guilty. You have to get lawyer (the shady the better) to prove you and innocent. All $$$$$ I care not to waste.

I also think this why we see all the discarded beer cans and whiskey bottles along the MMP. Open/empty container law in vehicle? Once you gulp down that Shyt you get rid of the evidence? :thumbup:

I don’t see a lot of discarded bottles and cans. Fact be, I don’t see any.

Don't waste gas. Here's what you do. After the sun goes down, take your boombox and cooler, go up on your roof. Works great when there's a slight breeze and you have privacy from the annoying people in your home as well.:D

Evidently you don't travel the paths to and from the liquor stores:22yikes:
