Big Brother Is Watching You Smoke

BirminghamLive reports that new "yellow vulture" speed cameras are being rolled out in the UK.

They are thought to be more discreet than the speed-tracking technology currently used on our roads.

Motorists pictured eating or smoking behind the wheel, or using their mobile phone, will be slapped with a £200 fine and 6 penalty points.

All very well and intrusive maybe, except for one wee point..it's not illegal to smoke or eat when driving!

As per the RAC:

1. Is it illegal to eat and drive?

No. It’s not illegal to eat and drive at the same time. However, if you present a significant danger while snacking on the move, the police could prosecute you for careless driving if they consider you not in proper control of the vehicle.

2. Is it illegal to drink when driving?

Similar to eating, drinking at the wheel is not illegal, but it can carry the same careless driving penalty.

3. Is smoking while driving illegal?

Smoking at the wheel is not an offence in itself, but if it leads to careless driving it could land you in trouble with the law.
