The tickets received by the driver and passengers in your car are not likely to affect you or your rates since they were given to the occupants of the car, which you were not one of. It sounds like neither the car or you received any citations so in most states there should be nothing to go on your driving recordm thus nothing for the insurance company to see regarding the incident.

The people in your car though need to take care of their tickets. Depending in what state the violations occurred the penalty for the open container tickets could be as little as $25 or as high as $500. This violation can be considered as a traffic infraction or as serious as a misdemeanor. In some states, such as Georgia, points can be added to your license while others, such as South Carolina, may suspend your license if you are underage.
