To hold your drink in until you get home and can drink it?

That's correct. You are not allowed to use a mobile phone at all while you are driving.

I didn't think you were allowed to drink while driving full stop!

It would one of the things that Mr. Policeman looks out for if he hasn't already fulfilled his qouta for the night. Pricks

Just lay it on the passenger seat and not open it? Negates the need for the holder, which i thought was only required for open drinks, to prevent spillage?

It's only legal if you spit, not swallow.

Ah HA! But what if it's a drink from McDonalds? Have you ever bought a drink from there with a lid that fits? You can't lay those babies down.

Maybe Macca's are in cahoots with car manufacturers?

Probably are. So are we really not allowed to eat and drink in our cars? This is doing my head in!!

And then that proposes the other question - is it law that if you have a dog/cat in the car that it has to be restrained "properly"? Cos i have seen dogs tied to ropes in trailers, and my dog just runs around the car, sits on my knee and sometimes sleeps on the back parcel shelf! Surely they will crack down on this too?

my dad is a truckie and i have had nightmares ever since he told me he saw a truck have an accident where his dog flew through the front window i worry heaps now as my dog is overhyped and jumps around everywhere even up near the dashboard!
