A bench of Kents

From Kent Online:

A stunned van driver was slapped with a hefty £200 fine – for not displaying a No Smoking sticker in his vehicle.

Head of safer neighbourhoods Doug Rattray said:

“It is an offence to not display a No Smoking sign in a vehicle that is used for commercial purposes. This is the case regardless of whether someone is self-employed, the only person to use the vehicle or if nobody smokes in it. We enforce this but the level of fine is set nationally in law. Mr Emery received a fine, which he paid, for this offence. He was advised on the legislation and given the correct sign.”

Council spokesman Rob Davies confirmed that around 50 fines have been issued since the law came into force.

Does anybody know, does the ‘work van’ rule apply to salesmen’s cars too? And if so, what about cars which people use for normal commuting?
