∙ 14y agoIt is not legal in Alberta to drive a motor vehicle with an open container of alcohol. This law also affects the passenger who is drinking alcohol.
Yes, as of 2005, Colorado does have open container laws. No open container is allowed anywhere in the passenger compartment of a passenger vehicle while on a public highway. There are exceptions such as limos, etc. It's a Class A offense that carries a $50 fine.
Negative. Open containers are illegal in every state. This answer is false. There are 7 states where there are no open container laws. While it is illegal for the driver to consume alcohol, passengers may do so. Mississippi actually allows the driver to consume alcohol. Virginia is one of the 7 that has no open container law pertaining to a passenger in a motor vehicle.
No. This law, effective 9/1/2001, prohibits the possession of an open container of an alcoholic beverage in the passenger area of a motor vehicle. It does not apply to watercraft. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/faq/warden/boatinglawfaq.phtml
In just about every state, no a passenger cannot, according to the law, drink in a moving vehicle. This violates the open container law.
it is in a brown bottle and it is still illegal
That depends on the state or province.
it is in the trunk!Does it have to contin liquid
no you're not allowed to if a police sees you well you are going to jail. In most states (39) and in Canada, open alcohol in a container would be permitted in a locked trunk providing there is no access from within the vehicle. The open alcohol laws cover the passenger area of any motor vehicle, including unlocked glove compartments and any other areas of the vehicle that are readily accessible to the driver or passengers while in their seats.
Dui laws prevent the drinking of alcoholic beverages in any vehicle. A 15 passenger van is considered a motor vehicle, and the driver could be charged with not only dui, but an open container.
No, if referring to alcohol, a passenger in Nevada cannot drink in a car. It is illegal to drink any type of alcohol while in a vehicle.
