Topic 6 · Alcohol, Drugs, and Driving (DUI Laws)
If you are caught with an open marijuana container in your car, what can happen?
- No penalty
- You can be fined about $100 — correct answer
- Only a warning
Why
The handbook requires cannabis to travel sealed and unopened, or in the trunk (Section 9). Carrying it open in the passenger area is an infraction; the fine amount comes from the Health and Safety Code, not the handbook.
