Even without kids they would have been gunning for the smoker drivers eventually anyway. A guy near me was given a ticket & 3 points by the polis for blowing his nose when parked in traffic, with handbrake on, as he was deemed not in control of the vehicle. You probably saw it as it made national news (eventually the prosecution was withdrawn). If that is the mentaility then smoking while driving is going to be worth at least 9 points.......................

Next thing you know they'll bring in emission tests for drivers.

Imagine getting pulled over by plod the morning after a night at your local curry house.

Korma 3pts
Vindaloo 3 months ban and retest

I will be interesting to see what they deem smoking in a car, if you hang the *** out the window and put your mouth to it, surely you are then smoking outside the car, madness, just pure madness!

Next thing i suppose is to ban smoking on trains and busses whatever next

Good........love you dearly Loz but the sight of you smoking in that car makes me puke........this bit of legislation will make your car smell sweeter and may just save this nicotine filled lungs of yours

With moby's, it was approached from a safety point of view, with ciggies it's being approached from a health point of view, particularly passive smoking. A more difficult one to push through on these grounds I think, which along with difficult enforcement brings civil liberties into play. An Englishman's Maser is his castle after all!

Loz...I think this is entirely fair.......why ruin the the fine smell of best Italian leather with 2/3/4 day old smoke...................????!!!!



UNLESS....in the true UM way of thinking they are the finest....Cohibas......rolled on the lightly perspired, inner, upper thighs of 20 year old Cuban divas.......


SH!T....got a bit carried away there........( was that tobacco ****.......?....)............but will always compromise.........

Anyone driving a high performance machine like a Maserati knows that in order to stay safe on the road you need the observation skills of a fighter pilot. When you apply that sort of standard to someone driving whilst using a mobile phone, then they are bound to fall short since they are so often in a world of their own and completely oblivious to the changing conditions around them. Ultimatetly this means that they are putting both you and me at risk in the process. A change in the law to make this an endorsable offence was in my view both reasonable and justified. The case for smoking is very different. That said if there any distractions in the car then extra care is needed..... And that's more than enough from me for one day!
