The first PH driver to be caught smoking in his car has been issued a £50 ticket. Previously the Lo had issued warning letters - seems he's got fed up with the light touch approach :lol:

York now issued six to drivers caught smoking and rumour has it one has just been done for £150 for incorrect signage.

From what I'm lead to belive there is no fixed size for no smoking stickers laid down in law, only that they must be displayed, so how they hell can he fined for that

I was under the impression that the legal size was 70 mm diameter.

Makes you proud to be a non smoker :D i doubt the local LO who never has time to do anything would ever issue penalty notices although knowing our council they'll probably get the litter wardens to do it :roll:

That's what I thought.

Although I'm currently being stubborn/stupid and not replacing my smaller ones as I feel mine are just as acceptable.

I really don't think people give a sh-ite if it's 70mm or 50 mm like mine are, it's just pety govt crap.

Maybe they should try not smoking. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I tried not speeding, and I got no speeding fines. Easy innit?
