Now I haven't read the drivers book in a while, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't tell you that you can't sleep in a car while you're intoxicated. Now the electronic ban law was implemented a few years ago, but i do feel like many drivers aren't aware that reading their phones during a stop light is illegal. Let's face it, all you guys on RS claim to be the best drivers in all of Canada. OP came in here to ask a legit question and gets berated

please provide evidence of anyone sleeping in the back seat of their car (intoxicated) getting an Impaired Driving Charge and conviction. I have never heard of these stories, ever. And unless the person who is passed out in the back seat has his or her keys in the ignition and the car running, and no one else in sight, MAYBE they can be done for care and control, but even that is a stretch. If these "stories" you are talking about are all heresay, it is probably people who have been charged and are trying to downplay what really happened.
