is smoking while riding illegal with an open faced helmet

Is smoking while riding, illegal with an open faced helmet;
just wanted to know.

 

I hope not.

Well, not yet, anyway.

It's okay on the 'wing as you can use the gold plated ciggie holder.

 

It could be, if you're planning to ride your motorcycle throught the no-
smoking restaurant section of a pub.

Presuming that the rider might want to remove the
cigarette/cigar/pipe/bong between puffs, I guess they could fall foul of
the same laws that ended up stuffing that bird eating an apple whilst
driving.

Easy enough to avoid tho.

 

Chrome, old chap. Gold is *so* showy.

 

Lighting up is difficult, especially with matches.

Then again, getting a fag out of the packet's not *that* easy on the
move.

Cruise control rocks a big one.

Ah, yes. I seem to have got you mixed up with the hurdy gurdy player.

Shan't do it again

I do hope not. I enjoy the morning fag on the way to work.

If that were the case, then every time a driver changed gear [1] they
would be falling foul of the same law.

I once got into trouble with the local constabulary for trying to smoke a
cigarette whilst riding down a duel carriageway wearing a full face
helmet - I was 17 and it seemed like a good idea at the time. Luckily
the bobby in question let me off with a warning.

The only other problem (apart from being stopped by the police) was that
the cig burned away really quickly and just left the paper round the
outside.

Because some ash could blow in your eye, blinding you, so that you
plough into a school bus, which crashes into a petrol station next door
to a hospital. The maternity unit fills up with petrol, then your fag
end drops in to it and it blows up killing everyone inside.

And all because you didn't THINK OF THE CHILDREN.

You ****.

That was the script for the Christmas episode of 'Causality',
the popular hospital-based television drama.

btw, you can't ignite petrol vapour with a fag.

Really? Why not?
