Why bother wasting their time or yours? Just don't even put yourself in that situation if you don't have to.
I'm not a lawyer but I have to imagine the cost and hassle of defending yourself from an obviously avoidable situation would grind my gears in hindsight.

If nothing else, Lapid says, the ruling offers a good opportunity to repeat the advice he so often provides to his clients. “Don’t use your car as a shelter,” he says. “It’s not a good safe haven because you are going to have an uphill battle trying to prove to the courts that you wouldn’t have put the vehicle in motion.”
