Just the driver or also the entourage?

What about Tuk Tuks?

Sensible really - you might spill your drink if driving at the same time.......

I hope this doesn't apply to the motorbike taxi guys

This is an anouncement that brings back a funny memory for me(sorry to go off topic) I was working in St. Maarten in the west indies and when I finally got a day off, I went exploring and mongering(there are 8 brothels on the island and it's only 37square miles in area) anyway I was with a local that I was working with and we stopped at the gas station and bought beers,when we bought them the clerk poppped the tops for us and we got in the car,no problem.

I asked my friend if there was an open container law, and he looked at me like I was from another planet, I asked about DUIs and he said what are you talking about???

Needless to say that day made St. Maarten my favorite place to visit on earth LOL! Of course LOS has now overshadowed it by a mile, but I still love the laidback carribean lifestyle!

Sorry to go off on a tangent here,and even though this is a new law in LOS, I couldn't care less as I've never tried to drink in a vehicle there and it's still my #1 place to visit!

In Pearl River Louisiana right next to one of the warehouses I manage there is a Drive through Liquor Store where you can get a Jack and Coke, Rum and Coke, and many other beverages. They put them in a bottle or package that you must open under the disguise that you will wait till you get home. Yeeaaahhhh !
