Communism coming to uk?

[Guest111]

Just seen the news today and they are on about making smoking illegal in cars,now I don,t know how anyone else feels but I think its a step too far.I pay for my vehicle,tax, insurance,mot,fuel,etc it,s mine and if I want to smoke in it I will,I very rarely have passengers in the vehicle and when i do if they do not smoke neither will I.However trying to make it illegal is a step too far when someone else pays for my vehicle then they can tell me what to do in it.It,s a daft idea,how about this one,my mate was a truck driver and was stopped at a red light when up popped a pcso and gave him a ticket for smoking in the truck.However he was informed that as he is a tramper and away all week then at night the truck is classed as his home and he may then smoke in it!how daft is that,whats next I wonder,telling you what music you can play on your radio.

sounds like a joke, i agree if someone is in my car that doesnt smoke, i wouldnt smoke either , cause i know non smokers hate smoke..


yes always been a nany state.. bombers/terriosits get more rights than a normal person

 

[kathwilcox]

its a world gone mad!

most of my family dont smoke but none of them agree with the smoking ban in pubs!

at the end of the day if we all stopped smoking the country would fall to bits as the revenue they collect from smokers pays for the NHS 6 times over, and our taxes would go up to cover there loses!

The country cant police the laws they have now so who is going to police that one!

Ridiculous!

 

[Guest111]

What annoys me Kath is as you said they can,t police what they have now so why more? Simple put a cop on a junction for a couple of hours and watch the cash roll in.

 

[i=p/u]

i know , but you would be rippin if you got £60 fine for smoking in car after an argument with a builder over money...

fu,,,,,,,,,,,k them!!!!!!!!

thats why i try not to watch the news phil... leaves you felling like this:95:

 

[Guest111]

Exactly mate they should sort out proper crime and leave us smokers alone as Kath said we pay enough taxes for the privelige.slighly off topic but this may take peoples minds off other more annoying posts.

 

[kathwilcox]

Don't get me started on the politics of this country, as it winds me up and i will probably end up with on of these :ban:.

This country stinks and we get ripped off on everything!

 

[i=p/u]

yeah i would pay extra £2 a packet if i thought was going to put 100,000 extra officers on the beat lol but lets face it the £2 would go to a pot where the hands outweigh the payments of non important bills... rant over

It's just an extension of the car owner being an easy target.

Let's get the crime clear up statistics looking good!

I'm sure the outside lane hogger causes more accidents than smokers on the road. The government needs to go back to priority school.

Which "news" did you read this in? Wasn't the Daily Mirror was it?

Instead of fining ppl for use of phones, smoking, eating etc, there should be different levels of drivers licience. If you can prove during your test you can still drive while for example, pull your mobile out text, or light up a cig, then that should be allowed. Same goes for doppy drivers who cant drive in the dark, rain or snow. If you cant demo some sort of safe driving during simulated training, you will have a limited licience.
