    What the actual hell??? Last week, I had clients across from Naples to Bradenton, so i woke up at 4am and started doing jobs. Made it up to Bradenton at 10am and the last client wanted to wait til 2pm to do the job

    As a result i chilled, enjoyed a nice lunch, checked out the boardwalk, and after 1.5 hrs of enjoying the place, I entered my car exhausted, set an alarm to 1:30pm, and fell asleep.

    You’re telling me that THIS NAP I TOOK WOULD BE ILLEGAL?!?!?!

      Some municipalities may charge you with operating a vehicle while intoxicated. The reason is that you clearly had the means to operate the vehicle and you did not seem to be alert while observed.

      In this case, actually no. The bill exempts sleeping in a vehicle provided the vehicle has valid registration/plates and is legally parked.
