Had a discussion at work today at lunchtime about wether or not its illegal to have open containers of alcohol in a car like it is in the USA.
Some of us beleive that as long as the driver is under the limit his passengers are allowed to get shit faced, and drink what they want.
But one guy says its the law that no open containers of alcohol are allowed fullstop in a car, similar to the law in the USA.
I know the law here in Victoria was changed (to be inline with the rest of Aust) about 6 months ago, that prohibits you from driving and having an alcoholic drink. Prior to this you could have a beer while driving provided you were under the limit. But does this stop your passengers from having a drink too?
