You are about to drive home from a barbecue. Your adult passenger gets in with an open can of beer to finish during the ride. What should you do?
Correct answer: Have the passenger finish it or pour it out before you drive away
Why
It is a traffic infraction for a driver or a passenger to drink alcohol or to have an open container of alcohol in a motor vehicle on a public road. The same law also bans the use of cannabis in the vehicle. Passengers in some for-hire vehicles, such as stretch limousines that operate under a state or federal permit, are exempt. The law does allow a properly resealed bottle of wine carried in the trunk.
