    Default Open Container Florida Vehicle on Private Property

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Florida

    I got a ticket on a semi private roadway. The road I was on is technically State land. Part of the road leading into posted private property belongs to the state. I was on the state portion when I was stopped. I had multiple cans of open beer. I know I was wrong but since there is usually a closed gate here and it is fenced and posted private( it was open at the time) ? Basically what I'm asking is, can I even legally have a open container on private land in my vehicle or am I screwed?

    The statute is f's 316.1936 ****2a and 2b are confusing to me as pertains to in the state at all or on a "road"

    Thanks

    1b defines road. This appears to be a road as far as the statute is concerned.
    2a says you can't have an open container while operated (for example, driven) or while a passenger in a car being operate. 2b says you can't have an open container while parked on the road except in certain motor homes.
