Smoking And Driving ?

[kylesmum]

I don't smoke and haven't for at least 15yrs but I am one of those 'blooming reformed smokers' !!

I'll admit it :)

However, my husband smokes, it's not an issue as he doesn't smoke in the house...in fact even when he's had a few swift ones he still goes outside...we have a wee shelter..and he has a few drags.

When we're in the car or van though it's like something out of the Generation Game ! How to roll a fag, watch the traffic, steer with your elbows, lick the paper, light it ...all without having your hands on the steering wheel !

He's not unique yet it's not banned...same as faffing about changing cd's or channels on the radio. All dangerous...extremely !

Bring it on...I know you will all feel the same as me about this...or do you?

>>>I was distracted there

Perhaps 'posting without due care and attention' should be an offence?

I find sat navs rude Chris - they always tell me where to go!

Eeeek Ummm.....so glad you're okay x

I wonder what distracted him? Every accident is caused by a distraction or a medical incident. That's fact.

So...are we *all* going to be more self aware? I'm not preaching....I just want to know if people are going to think before they get behind the wheel ?

The legal ramifications don't have to come into effect if everyone just applies common sense...or does that have to become a law as well?
