with vehicles it is a very grey area, what if a truck driver, (who is an owner - operator meaning that that nice swanky Daf 95 Spacecab, all £90,000 of it, is owned by the driver), is smoking in his cab with his tachograph out of the tachograph reader because he is out of his hours, and parked in a layby, that cab is no longer his work space, BUT his home for the weekend.
surely there has to be an ounce of common sense somewhere. if you smoke at home, you can get fined if you are smoking in there whilst a plumber or carpet fitter is in YOUR HOUSE working. I dont smoke, but I can see that this so called smoking law has so many gray areas it's rediculus. what next, passenger cant smoke if driver is non smoker, or driver is not allowed to smoke because passenger is non smoker? come on guys who make these laws get real and come to the real world!
