baldydude: whilst driving:
smoking in cars is dangerous ..
opening a can of fizzy drink in a car is dangerous..
opening a candybar in a car is dangerous...
changing the radio station is dangerous...
screaming kids in a car is dangerous....
distracting animals in cars is dangerous...
sneezing in cars is dangerous....
talking with your passengers is dangerous...
changing a cd is dangerous....
advertising on the side of the road is dangerous...
trying to follow a sat-nav is dangerous...

these are just a very small few of the excuses i've heard when attending to accidents, why not just ban driving all toghether
Oh Sweet Jesus........I wont even ask...gulp rolling on the floor laughing

martini100: Yep ! i took a fit of sneezing once and crashed a car, drinking coffee is another one, what happens if u spill it? I'm not saying smoking is good , but like i said earlier, if they wanna pay for my car then by all means I'll abide to the rules, until then I'll do what i want in my car


Having a sneezing fit is uncontrollable and drinking coffee in a car is pretty stupid if you ask me...

You can do what you want in your car but you will be prosecuted for breaking the law

All common sense really, apart from talking, you can still have full concentration on the road while you talk..

Advertising?? does that include road signs?? confused

laugh my favourite one is the sat-nav excuse, i've lost count as to how many clowns both male nd female blame the sat-nav for crashing their cars, specially city folk that are on a day trip out in the country, "i cant understand why there was a bend in the road, it never showed on the sat-nav" doh rolling on the floor laughing

Playing devils advocate here but what if they introduced an all out smoking ban in cars ................ would using these smokeless cigarettes or the new eletronic cigarettes be breaking the law because you would still have to use a hand to hold them..........

Cigarettes Designed for In-Flight Smoking: Ryanair's 'Smokeless' I saw them for sale a couple of weeks ago on board ........... they are made in Germany, exported from Gibraltar, only used at 35,000 feet and sold onboard Ryanair and bmibaby flights? That's right—they're Smokeless Cigarettes, designed to satisfy the cravings of heavy-smoking airline passengers who can't go without for more than a few hours and are willing to pony up 6 Euro for a box of ten substitute sticks.

yes they sure are, would think they have caused more accidents since they came out, ten years or so ago, than smoking has ever done since the invention of cars, banning smoking in cars is just another bright idea by the politicians to score brownie points with the european environmental propaganda nd bring more money into the exchequer!!

I never smoke in my car but, the only reason being is its brand new and the kids are mostly with me.even when their not I still dont as it will make their carseats stink! I did before though. Drove from ashbourne to donnybrook everyday and couldn't do city centre traffic without a smoke! I dont see how its dangerous. Im a good driver so I can do both, safely! If thats the case they should ban old men picking the snotter of themselves. The finger is rammed up their noses longer then it takes me to smoke a full cigarette barf We pay tax, we pay insurance, we pay for nct, we pay for our licence and fuel and now they want to tell us what to do? nah i dont think so!!!! dunno professor scold

Smoking is bad for you .......... Fact!

Smoking kills..... Fact!


The rate of heart disease dropped by 11% in the year 2004 following the introduction of the smoking ban in 2003......... Fact!


While the goverment can not make you give up smoking they have a responsibitity to point out the dangers of smoking and to limit the damage to non smokers ............professor

I think staring at the speedo constantly to make sure you're not exceeding the new 20mph speed limits that seem to be appearing everywhere(in the uk) is quite dangerous.uh oh

Excellent points. Sneezing is involuntary but it can be just as dangerous as smoking. Drinking coffee while driving is even more dangerous than smoking while driving in my opinion.
