It seems to me that coming up with rules like these cast everything else into doubt because they are so utterly illogical.
My feeling on this is that there are 2 reasons:
1. They don't know that you plan to stay in your car. You may be just claiming that.
2. If you are driving, you need to use gas pumps, and can share the virus there.
Speaking personally, my parents own a number of acres about 45 miles from their home. They cut firewood on those acres. They will be driving over there to bring back the firewood all spring, summer, and fall. What do they say if the police stop them? It's all true, but will the police be okay with that?
I live in a sparsely populated part of North Dakota. (And, yes, that's a relative thing.) If I drive out into the country, I could probably go anywhere I want and no one would ever know. I actually plan to do that this weekend. I have no shame about taking my Toyota Camry miles away from paved roads. And, like you, I won't be meeting people to share the virus with them.
