In-Car Smoking Ban

Almost half of in-car smokers will ignore new ruling!

Although over 3 million UK motorists have had accidents or near misses as a result of in-car smoking, a staggering 45 per have admitted they will ignore new rules in the Highway Code and continue to light-up behind the wheel.

According to the new revised Highway Code, smoking in the car is an action Police may deem as ‘not allowing proper control of a car’.

But, research by esure has unveiled that most smokers don’t really care about the new ruling and will continue to light up for their nicotine fix.

A massive 80 per cent of motorists admitted to taking their hands off the wheel in order to light a cigarette. Whilst 75 per cent of motorists think smoking whilst driving on a motorway is acceptable and poses no risk, even at high speeds.

Though it seems opinions are closely divided, with 47 per cent of people for smoking in cars whilst 53 per cent are against it.
It was also found that 66 per cent of non-smokers would like to see an official in-car smoking ban introduced, compared to only 11 per cent of smokers. Well, no surprise there then.
