My recollection is that there is no legal requirement to be in the car but you must be with it to be in attendance.
Donaldson LJ in QBD of High Court 1980; case of Bulman v Godbold
"under regulation 124 the mischief quite clearly is that a motor car whose engine is running is potentially dangerous, and the regulation requires that somebody, who is duly licensed to drive and therefore presumably is competent to drive, which is the relevant point, should either be in it or in close attendance on it. I agree that the word ‘close’ is not there, but that is clearly implicit."
