Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
Your friend rides with you and carries a bottle of wine that was opened at dinner and then closed again with its cork. Where in the car may the bottle ride so that no one breaks the open-container law?
Correct answer: In the trunk, since it is outside the passenger area
Why
North Carolina's DWI laws also ban drinking any alcohol, including beer, while you drive. A driver who has an opened container in the passenger area while alcohol remains in the driver's body commits a separate offense, even below 0.08. In a hatchback or station wagon, the area behind the last upright back seat is not part of the passenger area.
