Beer In Sleeper 392.5a

Better call the DOT and Swat team. Here in Hubbard, OH and it was a freaking beer fest last night.

 

Driver, what people are trying to tell you is just not getting through.

 

Ya and you can bet he will have an open beer under the griddle on the shelf. Bottoms up OP.

 

You are correct on that criteria, however you highlighted (in red) it a bit inaccurately, relating the wine's .5% with the word beer.
Luckily, as per 26 U.S.C. 5052(a), of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (for beer), the threshold for 'beer' is also .5%.

This borders on nitpicking, but just setting the details straight. It should have been highlighted/separated as follows:

wine of not less than one-half of one per centum of alcohol by volume, beer as defined in 26 U.S.C. 5052(a), of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, and distilled spirits as defined in section 5002(a)( 8 ) of such Code.

It all really is dominated/overruled by subscript section (2), pasted below.
(a) No driver shall—
(2) Use alcohol, be under the influence of alcohol, or have any measured alcohol concentration or detected presence of alcohol, while on duty, or operating, or in physical control of a commercial motor vehicle

So HOW can any driver risk the risk of being tested, even bookoo hours later, and have his/her blood alcohol at any level of 'presence'. Even .01
Nope, not worth it.
Besides that, the OP is not talking about drinking or possessing .5% 'near beer'.

 

i'm gonna go get drunk and forget about this thread

 

Agreed... everyone has chimed in with their views... and it has served farrr more than a 'normal' life.
