According to Queensland law, Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995, a person can be charged with drink driving when their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is over the Qld legal limit to operate that vehicle and they are 'in charge' of that vehicle, even if the vehicle is parked on private property, and even if the engine is off. As such, Cloakey's advises against patrons and guests over the Qld legal BAC limit sleeping in their vehicles, either on or off Cloakey's premises while in possession of the vehicle's keys. It is the responsibility of all driving patrons and guests to park their vehicles safely, in such a way as to not constitute a source of danger to other persons or other traffic, and to then leave their vehicle's keys in a safe location NOT in their possession, before their BAC is over the legal Qld limit. Cloakey's does not permit patrons or guests to sleep on the premises in a vehicle with keyless ignition.
