1Opinion of the Court
Hunstein, Justice.
Kirill Firsanov was convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol with a blood alcohol content exceeding .04 pursuant to former OCGA § 40-6-391 (k); illegal use of a spotlight, OCGA § 40-8-29 (a); violation of the open container law, OCGA § 40-6-253 (b); and underage possession of alcohol, OCGA § 3-3-23 (a) (2). While we agree with Firsanov that his conviction for illegal use of a spotlight must be reversed, we affirm the remaining convictions and the trial court’s ruling upholding the constitutionality of former OCGA § 40-6-391 (k).
