Put a lid on it

February 14, 2001 By admin Leave a Comment

State lawmakers are taking another stab at toughening Missouri’s law governing open containers of alcohol in moving vehicles. They’re considering legislation that would make it an offense for anyone in a moving car, driver or passenger, to be in possession of an open container of alcohol. State Highway Patrol Superintendent Weldon Wilhoit thinks the effort is a good one. Supporters say it’s too easy for a driver who is drinking to pass the container to a passenger when stopped by the police. A lobbyist for Anheiser-Busch says there are already enough drunk driving statutes on the books.
