Should Indiana ban alcohol drinking by backseat passengers in cars?

What do you think?

AK · Jan 26, 2005

Its not already?

It's fine now, but being debated in the general assembly currently.

WOW, here in MD an open container is a huge NO NO..I am shocked you can drink brew in the back seat of a vehicle anywhere in the US in 2005...

Isn't it just a fine ? Limos are fine. I believe taxis in LV ok. It used to be legal to have an open beer in Texas while driving. I'm sure it will get shot down wherever legal. A $100 fine seems about right.

How can they make it illegal for someone in the backseat to have an open container when it OK for the driver to have one?

Doug · Jan 27, 2005

I don't think it's legal for the driver to have an open container anywhere now. It once was.

I don't know where you people live, but here in Md its a no no...I had no idea you could drink in the back seat...

Doug , a Limo is a big difference...I use to drive a Limo (very briefly) it was a fun extra job though...One time i picked up this guy and his party of stoners...LOL, he asks me if I'm allowed to party with them...He ended up being a great tipper, of course he was bombed off his rocker! LOL, no I did not drink , I just politely said no thanks!
