β’ Can I sleep in my car in Delaware? Depends on where you try it (delawareonline.com) β If youβre in Lewes, itβs illegal to sleep overnight in your car, just like in several neighboring beach towns, so plan rest stops carefully. The piece compares Lewesβ rules with looser regulations at highway rest areas and in other Delaware cities and counties, helping drivers understand where a quick car nap could lead to a fine.
