Topic 6 · Alcohol, Drugs, and Driving (DUI Laws)
An open container of alcohol in your glove box is:
- Illegal, even if nobody has been drinking — correct answer
- Legal if the vehicle is parked
- Legal if the driver has not consumed alcohol
Why
The handbook names the glove box specifically: an open container may not be kept there. It goes in the trunk or a place where passengers do not sit. (Section 9, Use or Possession of Alcohol or Cannabis Products in a Vehicle.)
Practise this in the real format
Reading one answer is not the same as sitting the test. The simulator runs the first-time adult form: 36 questions, 6 mistakes allowed, 83% to pass.
