ban smoking in cars ???

the cotton wool industry may well be the only industry to do well in the current economic climate.

you cant drink (non alcoholic) or eat when driving

so why should you be allowed to smoke?

South Africa's are having a terrible time with their economy at the moment....inflation is up 1000000% and cotton pickers cant even afford a loaf of bread on 1 weeks wage

Because there's a massive additional risk from drink driving, and bugger all from smoking.

1 waste of space health n safety law passed & you want another passing.

dont expect these folks to be happy once smokings banned, they wont give up & go home then, they will pick somet else to have banned & it might be something you like.

My bad, missread what you put. Potentially I don't think there's much difference, depending on circumstance (eating a three course meal at the wheel would be pushing it, a bite of a choccy bar seems fair enough to me).

Any acts of careless driving are covered by, funnily enough, the offence of careless driving. Don't see why seperate laws are required. Oh, other than careless driving requires police to spot it, and they're expensive.

Nail on head.......Thats why none of this really matter.

I'll continue to eat my boots meal deals on the way home from meetings, just like people will continue to use their mobile phones whilst driving......nobody really pays any attention to it anyway.
