(PA CASE)

   MOTOR VEHICLE - DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (DUI) CHARGES

 

In a case where the licensee was found asleep, reclined in the passenger’s seat on a rural road, with the engine and lights off, near a convenience store, and no alcohol in the vehicle, the court made a finding of no reasonable grounds to believe that the licensee had actual physical control of the motor vehicle when found in the above condition i.e., to believe that the man had been “driving while drinking.”  Therefore, the court found the suspension of operating privileges for refusing to submit to chemical testing for intoxication was invalid and the license was restored.
