 Leaving engine running whilst car is empty - TheManWithNoName
Aside from the obvious risk of theft, is it illegal to leave your car running whilst you're scraping the outside and your vehicle is on a private drive or road?

I heard (from an ex traffic copper) that any unattended vehicle can reward you with 3 points on your license even if its sitting on your drive. He added that any driveway or private road which abuts to a public highway is still subject to traffic law.
