As reported by Q1057 in the article “Is It Legal To Sleep In Your Vehicle In New York State?” — many New Yorkers may find themselves napping in their car for various reasons, from long road trips to sleeping off a night of drinking. But is it actually legal to do so? The answer depends on a few important details.
