I am surprised you are still allowed to smoke and drive. I know you are not allowed to smoke while driving with minors in the car. |

I came to live in Victoria in 2003, and often spotted people sitting at the lights sucking back a VB etc. To my surprise I found it was legal, it was around 2011 when they closed that loophole and made it illegal.
Still plenty doing it though, I often see people popping into Dan Murphy's to purchase 1 cold can..

You still see people doing it now, you see it pretty commonly on the Tullamarine Freeway around knock off time for the tradies, I guess people weren't aware of the rule change. Or it could be like smoking, Melbourne has no smoking areas everywhere but people still smoke in them and no one really cares. |

I've never smoked in my life and smokers don't even bother me, I'll sit among them in an alfresco area having dinner with them, or follow them out to continue conversation as they smoke away from the crowd, its always ex smokers with the problem with current smokers. Probably because it'll make them want to start again. |

So out of curiosity, why is it illegal:
* for passenger(s) to drink alcohol in the car, provided the driver is under the legal blood alcohol limit? * for the driver to consume alcohol while driving, provided they are under the legal blood alcohol limit? ![]() ![]() |

b) Another reason it slows down road side and random breath tests as the have to wait quite a while for the body to get rid of alcohol fumes from the mouth and throat. c) People also used to use it as a way to get off DUI charges by sculling some beers after they had been pulled over.

It even affects the same person differently depending how tired they are when they last ate etc.. From what I've witnessed over the years one beer or one glass of wine can affect some peoples judgement so much they shouldn't open their mouth let alone drive. this is despite being within the legal blood alcohol limit. anyway I predict in the future we will have a 0 limit. its a cultural change if you going to drive at all don't drink. passenger is fine IMO but that may change too.

I’m sure it’s assault. There is a test case underway where someone is accused of complaining about the smell of another person; the outcome of that will assist…

Way back in '97, I did a security course and was told of an incident where a person dropped one in a lift, and when the lift opened and a victim walked out, the culprit laughed, and the victim had them charged with assault.
Not sure what the outcome was, but it's a example of a deliberate application of force. At least in a car you can open windows, unless the window "lock" button is applied. ![]() |
