274. 喫煙
喫煙しながらの運転は、片手を使い、道路から注意をそらし、車内へ煙、灰、落下物を生じることで注意散漫につながります。受動喫煙で乗客にも影響します。一部の国では特に子どもが同乗する車内で喫煙を制限・禁止しています。運転者は常に車両を十分に制御し、安全運転を妨げる行為を避けます。
Can smoking distract a driver?
Yes. Lighting, holding or extinguishing a cigarette can create manual and visual distraction, while smoke or dropped ash can also interfere with concentration.
Is smoking while driving illegal?
This depends on the country. Some countries allow smoking while driving but prohibit it when children are present or in certain types of vehicles.
Why is smoking in a car with children a problem?
Smoking in an enclosed vehicle exposes passengers to second-hand smoke, and children are particularly vulnerable to its harmful effects.
Do smoking bans in vehicles also apply to electronic cigarettes?
In some countries, yes. Laws may treat vaping or electronic cigarettes in the same way as smoking when restricting their use inside vehicles.
Can cigarette smoke affect visibility?
Heavy smoke inside a vehicle can reduce comfort and visibility, while smoke residue can also create a film on the windscreen and windows that increases glare.
Can throwing a cigarette from a vehicle be dangerous?
Yes. A discarded cigarette can create litter, distract other road users or start a fire, particularly in dry vegetation.
