Is there a definition of 'driving' in there somewhere? Does sitting in
the
driving seat when the engine is running, even if the vehicle is
stationary,
count as driving?

It does if you are drunk.

AIUI the offence is being 'drunk in charge of a vehicle'. Someone who is
drunk, asleep on the back seat of the car, but with the keys in his pocket,
could be convicted.
