If you have a passenger in the car who is drinking/holding an open container of beer/liquor, is that a violation?
I understand from speaking to others that if you are driving by yourself, and you have an open container within arms reach, you will get a ticket. I am also being told that if you have passengers with you, and they are holding open beer cans, that you will not get a ticket nor will they.
Just trying to find out the corect answer.
Thanks
