Not that I would take coke or heroin, but it would of not been touched as it would be sealed, IMO the big shipments would come in via different methods.
I agree for certain crimes tent city would be a good option, keeping the cost down to the tax payer.
Do you know if you had an argument with the other half and went to sleep in the car with the keys in the vehicle, if you where drunk and the police arrived, you could and probably would be done for drunk and in charge of a vehicle.
Or morning after the night before, you think you fine but your just over the limit.
Do the above deserve a 5 year ban.
The people who don't care, the repeat offender would carry on driving regardless banned or not, licence or not.
Going of BG figure in 2007 - 83,975 people would be banned for 5 years, or life if a second offence, this would have a very big impact on a lot of lives.

The above are diversions in an attempt to give strength to a weak argument.
Worse crimes need the law tightening up not the relaxing of laws on what you consider to be a lesser crime.
As for sleeping in the car, let the bitch be uncomfortable, I'll have the bed.
