I've just seen an advert regarding the no smoking law starting on july the 1st, there's one thing that got my attention was the law that said there's no smoking in an works van has anyone any more imfo regarding that.
Paper Spark said:I believe if you as the owner/driver are the only person to use the van then you can smoke.
If the van is used by more than one person then it's classified as a work place and smoking is banned.
trazor said:Found this, and I quote...
"Will the ban affect company vehicles?
Yes, if the vehicle is used by more than one employee.
The no smoking sign must:
Be at least 75mm in diameter.
Display the international no smoking symbol.
The only exception to this rule is if the vehicle is a cabriolet and the roof is always down!"
Not yet, but the way things are going it'll soon be an offence to smoke while driving anyway in the same way as using a mobile phone.. then they will.markie said:I cant see that law work much, for a start your work mate not going to phone the cops if you have a fag, and would the cops pull you over for the sake of having a tab.
No. Your car, your rules - same as your house.markie said:One more thing whats the score when your driving your car and there's more than you in the car, is that classed as being in an public place ?
I bleeding well hope so - when I see a car dawdling, or wavering, or drifting across a lane, as a result of not concentrating, it turns out more often than not that the driver is either on the phone or smoking.ninebob said:...the way things are going it'll soon be an offence to smoke while driving anyway in the same way as using a mobile phone..
