ffs

actually a fixed penalty - I'd have told them to FO in no uncertain
terms.

A painter and decorator has been fined £30 for smoking in his own van
because it was deemed to be a workplace.

Gordon Williams, 58, of Llanafan, near Aberystwyth, west Wales, was on
the way to buy teabags for his wife when he incurred the on-the-spot
fine.

AIUI if it only used by himself for work and never for carrying other
employees then it is not a works vehicle under the terms of the Act.

That was my thought when I read this in the newspaper. He is
self-employed and has no employees, so the rules do not require the
vehicle to be smoke-free.

Colin Bignell

Apparantly He states now hios vehicle is for personal use and not that of
his business, so hopefully he will fight it

But he had a lad in it who had been working for him that day so he wont
win.

his van is not a public place, If the doors were locked would it be kidnap ?

I would fight it myself if I was telling the truth
