While driving on a California highway, a motorist keeps an alcoholic-beverage container with a broken seal in a jacket pocket. How does the open-container rule apply?
It is permitted because the container is in a pocket rather than a cup holder
It is permitted if the driver does not drink from it
It is prohibited because the driver possesses a broken-seal container✓Respuesta correcta
It is prohibited only when the container is completely empty
Explicación
A container with a broken seal counts as open for this rule, and possessing it on the driver's person while driving falls within the prohibition. Placing it in a pocket does not change who possesses it or restore the broken seal.
