good luck to them, I have to say that I have always thought smoking whilst driving should be outlawed, what's the reasoning behind fining that teacher a while ago, in Blackpool I think it was, for eating an apple whilst she was driving and thereby not being in full control of the vehicle which she is operating when there are thousands of people operating motor vehicles with something which is smouldering hanging out of their mouths, something which has to have the ash flicked off it every so often, either out of the window or in to an ashtray, something which gives off noxious fumes which can get in your eye and then worst of all usually gets flung out of the window whilst still alight?
