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.
