smoking update!
A question to any fellow Saxo smokers! Do you consider lighting up whilst driving to be a hazard? If I'm in town I'll wait until I'm stationary-eg at traffic lights. On the open road if I want to start smoking I'll check that the road ahead is straight and relatively traffic free before taking out a cigarette-then look again before momentarilly dipping my eyes to light up. Also I make sure my cigarettes are close to hand before setting off and not covered up by the usual in car paraphanalia! I think it's crucial to remain focused at all times when driving and starting to smoke at the wheel-I'll admit-can be a temporary distraction.

Good point. not something i think about now as i wont smoke in the car with my boy.
But before hand i'm sure i was guilty (maybe) . Think every journey has its distractions though. |
Before I gave up I'd smoke all the time driving, looking back I'd say it's more dangerous than being on your phone. If you drop your phone you can get it later, drop a fag and you're pretty fucked

Should be banned, even worse is when people throw their dog ends out the window. Had one bounce up onto my windshield once :clapping:

I'm more worried what damaged it'll do if it lodges in my engine bay somewhere, or gets stuck onto the body somewhere like a carrier bag does. seen plenty of bin fires from just one cig end. |

Smoking kills as it is. Smoking and driving? Well, Einstein I ain't but I'm pretty sure it's not overly safe to look away from the road to start a fire just below your own nose!
|
Could just stop smoking
Then you'd have more money for crack.. |
most of the time i keep my cigs up by the clocks so theyre just there , but yeah if im in a built up area i'll wait till im at a set of lights etc to light up
|
Driving is the worst time for me... Ill light up anywhere unless im round town then ill wait until im stopped or going slow in a straight line...
|
OP sounds retar- very conscious about road safety :homme:
Go crash somewhere else when you'll drop it inside the cabin. Then have fun driving your ashtray, and smell like one once you get out.. |
|
Should be banned imo.
A) Fucking disgusting, especially if you are sitting behind a smoker in a line of traffic. B) Most drivers throw their dog ends out of the window anyway. C) I said so |
Normally wait till I'm out the car to have a cig but every now and then I'll have one in the car on first start up till its warm by that time its normally smoked
Dunno how anyone can say a fag could damage your car, throw a end out the window and the cherry ( the lit end for non smokers) will fly off straight away so its left with a bit of cotton wool tip, if that worry ies you then you should seek mental help |
On topic OP: as far as i know, its against the law to light a cigarette while driving anyway? Smoking is ok, but lighting one you should be stationary.

I've done it occasionally in the past - i'd usually use the ash tray to put the end out it, or waited until there was nobody about. i can understand it annoys people but in reality it'll never do any damage. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Bl...#The_1999_fire That's just one example of fire caused by a cig. I'm not too impressed at people throwing whatever out of the windows, and any other "yeah but" bullshit excuse that comes along. |

I honestly can't believe people are worried about a fag end 'damaging' their car.
I'm not surprised it's Manu leading the charge of dribble, you had that replacement tin hat I ordered for you? I can't believe it but I actually agree with everything Stissy has posted. |
