A taxi driver who was caught having a cigarette in his cab has been convicted of an offence of smoking in a smoke-free place.

Lorne Scott Stevens, 33, was seen smoking inside his hackney carriage in Chesterfield town centre. North East Derbyshire and Dales Magistrates’ Court heard it is an offence for a person to smoke in a vehicle used by the public.

Chesterfield Council offered Stevens, of St John’s Road, Newbold, a £50 fixed fine as an alternative to prosecution but he did not pay.

He later pleaded guilty, was fined £116, and ordered to pay £100 costs plus a £15 surcharge.

They do when they can't breath any longer.

The law is quite clear, yet this driver decided he knew best.

We get loads round this way who still smoke whilst still inside their cab. There are only one or two who actually get out of their cabs to have a smoke.
