Are passengers allowed to drink alcohol in the car while travelling.?

The Gauteng Liquor Act 2 of 2003 states that no person may consume alcohol in or near any public place, this includes a vehicle driven on a public road or parked in a public area. A fine of R300 will be issued if a person is caught. So no: passengers are not allowed to drink

Littering, abuse of power — give him a disciplinary hearing.

Passengers are not allowed to drink alcohol in a vehicle that is on a public road or space. This specific case the vehicle will be moving on a public road/public space. Yall really need to educate yourselves about simple rules. Those passengers can also be arrested and charged.

This should be helpful

Can we be real now..you mean these guys dont know where drugs are sold? Or they just choose to pick a weaker (wo)man

At which point does the private vehicle become a public space?

@Regoworldwide They’re not, but the officers conduct is also out of order here!

Why are they fighting? A simple sorry, we were not aware, put all drinks in the boot and continue with your journey was simple but hey, let me turn on my camera and cause a scene. Now your face is all over internet for wrong reasons 🚮

Lol they don’t have the same energy for real criminals

I don't want to hear anything.....to me drunkards are guilty by default. Anything drunkards do never ends well. One day they'll thank that policeman.

This is policing we actually need in the country

So, who's gonna clean the mess he's creating? Can't he find a rubbish bin and throw the bottles in there? Stupid and emotional policeman. You can execute the law without emotions. Ke nahana ba motimme kuku, hence the emotions.

Coping alcoholics having a melt down on this tweet damn.

The msunu was angry ,jealous and thirsty nje..🤣 nothing much!!!😅🤣

It's still a public drinking offense. The place looks like a parking alot in the mall. You can only drink in the establishments with permits like tarvens, restaurants, private places such homes, townhouses etc.

Are there no dustbins there? The environment is not respected in SA, our people just litter everywhere with little or no care at all.

@Patrickmbhele No, they are not. I almost got arrested for drinking in a car, and I was not the one driving.

Yes drinking on public is an offence but carrying alcohol inside your car on bublic is not an offence. Why is the officer taking other people sealed alcohol and throwing it away. That's provocation at its peak.

@Aviwe_ii Our police officers dnt know our laws shem... It's a Pitt in SA we hardly sue the police department.

At some point just humble yourself uxolise. SAPS is not that bad. Problem starts when you give them sour attitude even when you are wrong

No they are not. There are laws at provincial and municipal level that prohibit alcohol consumption in, or near, public spaces. The inside of a vehicle in a public space, in these instances, is also considered a public space.

Your prinlem is that you guys are rude! To police they will show you their power! I once travelled with a family and the guy was a lawyer he stopped us they were friendly and explained everything us and let us go! Lona le itiria nkare le tseba molao go fetisha maphodisa

Police with anger issues should not carry guns ....they end up committing suicide

Breaking bottles, polluting the environment Hayibo policemen.

@ZulhuM Simple answer is no because it’s dangerous

It depends where you are. E.g public drinking in Tshwane is offence , CoJ it’s not

It’s not allowed and if you become arrogant towards the police they will arrest you wa fela bo clever ,korr those girls are not even aware of the law now they say they are going to police ,we are not allowed to open a case drunk even when beaten

These are mostly local bylaws so it depends on which region you’re in

No. Nobody is allowed to drink while in the car when the car is in public spaces. That's public drinking.

Yey, leyonto niyoyenza eGoli,uyobona unyoko kwelikamthaniya😡😡
