Oh, great. So you come out of the bar, decide you're over the limit, and, since you're the only one there, you have the keys. You're supposed to sleep under the car, then? This makes no sense at all...
How do you know that? Getting arrested for steering a pushed car at less than a walking pace, as it would necessarily be when pushed by women (unless maybe they're body builders) is no less illogical than getting arrested for pushing it on some chickeneyed definition of the word "operating". This whole thing is pretty chickeneyed, so why do you think you can buttume that pushing isn't also an opportunity for the cop to put another notch in his gunbelt?
I think he's doing quite nicely at showing the absurdity of this situation.
if they had both pushed it with neither steering it, the whole scenario would be only slightly more weird than the one that is outlined in the original post.
The new question is - since in some places it is illegal to drive while tired, could you turn off the engine and sleep in the car in order to fight being tired? According to these chickeneyed interpretations of "drunk driving", you probably couldn't pull over at a "rest area" on the interstate and catch a couple hours of sleep if you have the keys with you. Well, if you're the only one there, what the hell are you going to do with 'em, hmmm? Again, sleeping under the car seems to be what the law (naw, not the law - some cop's insane interpretation of the law applied with no common sense whatsoever for the purpose of justifying their job with yet another arrest) wants.
Sure you can get in trouble - all you need is a cop with an active imagination, and a DA that will welcome the opportunity to also justify his job.

They definitely don't want me on the jury when they come up with these nut-ball power plays.
