Open Container Laws

Analysis of data from the first four states that enacted Open Container Laws found that measures of alcohol-involvement in crashes appeared to decline during the six-month periods following the beginning of enforcement when compared to the same six-month periods one year earlier.

Operating a motor vehicle requires continuous decision-making by the driver. Unfortunately, judgment abilities can be affected by even small amounts of alcohol. For example, alcohol-impaired judgment can cause a driver to follow another vehicle too closely, providing an unsafe stopping distance.
Alcohol-impaired judgment also can result in a driver taking risks or endangering others. If you [...]
