It doesn't sound obvious to me. If it was cold out, you would run the engine for heat for instance.

It may not be obvious she was in fact driving, but it'll get you a DUI charge every time. Hell, even if you're in the back seat sleeping it off you're likely to get a charge if you have the keys anywhere accessible (and sometimes, even if you don't).

This is correct.
I also neglected to mention that the car wasn't neatly pulled over onto the side of the road but had driven itself into the ditch between the road and a field.

It was by far not her first DUI. I assume that she lost her license after that, but I do know that she kept driving.
