Ahh, so in the wrong gear....
I am never in the wrong gear.

When the situation is predictable you can plan ahead, but what happens if something unexpected happens?

I don't smoke, it's very unhealthy and I am no that rich.

Things I've learnt from this thread:-

-The greatest issue facing circuses is the shortgage of clowns due them constantly driving everywhere.

-99% of lung cancer cases must be clowns due to how they all smoke.

-I've never taken it in the rear from a smoking clown, which makes me a statistical anomoly and a bit lonely.

-Some people can smell tobbaco smoke several car lengths away and it overpowers even diesel exhaust fumes.

As nicotine increases concentration, I will campaign for it to be compulsory for all drivers to wear nicotine patches.

Yup. I had a vicious cycle, but after taking a couple of nuts off, it calmed right down.

Hmm.. I could see that being distracting, but tell them you're not a heretic and hit their ejector seat button?

I like to have a cigg and a drink while driving , I had to give up the drink for a while as the glass kept falling off the dash board when cornering , I have now sorted this out as my new car is automatic with cruise control ,long journeys are now a pleasure

To the OP , I am glad that I don't live near you as you are a danger to other road users as you always seem to be on the look out for flying dog ends , keep your eyes on the road

So you don't smoke but consider yourself expert enough to determine that a smoke driver isn't able to control his/her car at the same time.

If the op had a shotgun (God forbid!) she'd have shot both feet off by now!


Bib is never going to happen! She's been asked by a number of posters now but just continues churning out the same old mantra.

Open your eyes next time you are out and about and you will note the vast majority of fag smokers/drivers are in older vehicles and that is a fact!!

Here, more evidence from other posters that have suffered at the hands of selfish parasites that put at risk other people by throwing out their fag ends. Never mind risking others with their suspect driving/smoking but then chucking out their fag end with no care in the world, the fag end could easily land in some other car and that car could have a child seat in it with child. Or as this poster stated, the imbecilic threw out his fag end and nearly killed this motorcyclist. If this biker crashed, he could have crashed into other people

Cleary evidence why smoking in cars should be banned.

You keep saying fact, but a fact is something you can prove, i see smokers in all kind of cars, jags, mercs bmw. Smokers come from all walks of life

Depending on your income, but I just got back from speaking to somone who gave up smoking a few months ago. He is saving £190 a month......so this would cover many new cars in terms of repayments.

Dear Tim

I'm a non-confrontational lady in RL and here, and I don't like arguments, just some banter with topics that interest me.

Yes, i agree with you that you will see smokers that are attempting to drive in high end cars, but more often than not these are older versions driven by wana-bes.

You get the new German marques, Range Rover, Jaguar, etc, on the whole these people do not smoke as they are usally better educated, have more money and are more aware about the health risks re smoking and the stink that comes with it.

Yes. Surely it's obvious to everyone. I think those that don't see the risk are just putting their heads in the sand. Just like drink driving, or mobile phone use while driving, or not wearing a seat belt.
Times change and with it, attitudes. I see many changes for uk over next 10 years and a ban on people smoking while driving is one thing I beleive is bound to happen....that said, a lot of people will still do it (as with using a phone while driving or truck drivers watching DVDs while driving on the motorway) because we have very little in the way of enforcement. And in 10 years time, due to cut backs, there will be even less chance of being caught.

Everyone knows smoking is bad for you, not just better educated people. Yes, not everyone will be aware of various technicalities such as emphysema.

As a smoker once told me some years ago, he knew the health risks but he enjoyed smoking and so was prepared to take the risk of getting ill.

Not only are your rambling posts overflowing with wild conjecture and completely baseless claims none of which you've ever substantiated despite being asked numerous times, you are also quite a snoot aren't you? You really should let go of your grossly distorted views because it's messing around with your head, unless you want to carry on living such a bitter miserable life.

Grafenwalder

That was not nice. But I can see why you are so angry, "bitter, miserable" and seriously deluded. It looks as though that I've hit close to home, hence your childish post.

Look at like this. Mobile phone users whilst trying to drive, most will say there is nothing wrong, and they law agreed with them until the law was changed.

It is only a matter of time before the law is changed re driving/smoking and as I understand it, a 3 point penalty point for throwing out your fag our of the vehicle and another three points for smoking. Personally, I crush the car as well.

People have been driving and smoking along time before Mobile phone were even invented, reseach has shown that Mobile phone cause accidents is there any reseach that smoking causes accidents ?

No relevance to your op though.


You understand wrong. Littering is an offence be it from a motorist, pedestrian, cyclist or biker. An FPN can be issued and if so, can also be challenged, but in respect of bikers and motorists there are no penalty points.


Have you ever considered moving to live under a Totalitarian regime? I think you'd fit in very well.

It's time you let go of your obsession over smokers and looked for something else to better occupy yourself with. Everyone got the message from your op, you just hate anyone who smokes. I've no doubt there is something you enjoy which i and many other people would find annoying.

No, as you never done it yourself then you wouldn't know but to a smoker lighting a cig comes as natural as changing gear.

Ham psychology is a hoot to read.
You're just not very good at what you think you're very good at.

Everyday I see women and dotery old men trying to drive.
Do we ban them?
Maybe.
I smoke and have drove for near 40 years so no.

I have never been run over by a road roller, but I don't need to experience it to find out it would be painful.
Our elected officials make and modify laws all the time without out actually experiencing the result of something,
