Yes that's what I thought it probably was.Not for smoking, that is the penalty for throwing the cigarette out of the vehicle.
6 points on your license and a ā¬500 fine, and if you cause a fire, you will go to prison.
And it is valid for all of Spain.
Thank you for clearing that up. It still did not stop a man in a small Van with arm on open window sill and fingers wrapped around smoking ciggy. I love Spain!

I thought it was illegal to smoke while driving here in England ?Here is Spain it is illegal to smoke in the vehicle if there are minors with you. It is also illegal to throw the butt out the window. So if you have ashtrays in the car (all new cars do not) you will need to use them. You cannot hang your hand out the window with a cigarette either because it is considered you do not have proper control of the vehicle, same as eating a sandwich. So there you have it. I always pull over to one side if I have the urge to smoke, or wait till I get to my destination.
You don't have to smoke inside to make the place stink of smoke all smokers stink so they make the place stink of smoke.Smoking inside a vehicle of any type makes the place stink of, well, smoke.
Only if the vehicle is your place of work. ie. a company vehicleI thought it was illegal to smoke while driving here in England ?

Remember trying to smoke a fag, riding my motorbike, full face helmet and the hot ash going into my eyes and the fag burning the end of my noseI'm too tight to smoke, but if I did I'd certainly be responsible and have an ashtray fitted on my motorcycle![]()

No only if you've kids in it. I'd prefer 5 smokers to any kids. And no it isn't illegal to eat or drink as long as you are in control of the vehicle.thought it was illegal to smoke while driving here in England ?
Watch out. That sort of comment could have you seeing Coventry. Rule 1... Be nice.Stupid comment.
Why, surely it was a stupid comment? (I'm not a smoker either!)Watch out. That sort of comment could have you seeing Coventry. Rule 1... Be nice.
Nothing to do with the subject but because effectively you are saying the poster is stupid and that's a breach of the rule 1.Why, surely it was a stupid comment? (I'm not a smoker either!)
our spanish friend said the comment was stupid not the posterNothing to do with the subject but because effectively you are saying the poster is stupid and that's a breach of the rule 1.
Saying perhaps that something is obvious may be acceptable depending on how it is written.
However I knew one heavy smoker who did not understand that just being in a room with him was unpleasant because his clothes etc were full of tobacco smoke until I pointed it out to him. He assumed that if he went outside to smoke that all of it stayed outside. It's a horrible habit and as an asthmatic, ever the carried in smoke was causing me issues. .

I know someone who had a pipe rack fitted in the fairing of an R80 BMW!I'm too tight to smoke, but if I did I'd certainly be responsible and have an ashtray fitted on my motorcycle![]()
Not half as distracting as when I used to smoke and a glowing cigarette end fell into my lap.I am a smoker, however, I think it is irresponsible to smoke while driving ergo I don't. Smoking inside a vehicle of any type makes the place stink of, well, smoke. It also discolours all the plastic surfaces. If smoking while driving and due to the wind coming in the window the hot end flies into the back of the car/motorhome/whatever, you have a problem that will distract you and possibly cause an accident. Much like using your mobile.
I am being very nice, I could easily have said what I was thinking. Tolerance is a virtue, something many people need to learn, or relearn.Watch out. That sort of comment could have you seeing Coventry. Rule 1... Be nice.
Say what you're thinking I won't lose any sleep however it does not change the fact that smokers smell.I am being very nice, I could easily have said what I was thinking. Tolerance is a virtue, something many people need to learn, or relearn.
