Fag-break cost taxi-driver £315 A TAXI driver who was caught smoking in his cab in Lancaster has been fined £315. John Goulding, of Fleet Green in Lancaster, was found guilty in his absence at Lancaster Magistrates Court, of breaking the smoking ban laws. The regulations make it an offence to smoke in an enclosed public or work place – which includes vehicles such as taxis. Magistrates heard that Goulding was smoking a cigarette in his taxi while parked in a bay on Belle Vue Terrace in Lancaster on May 31 this year. He was spotted by one of Lancaster City Council's licensing officers, who informed him that he was breaking the law and subsequently issued a Fixed Penalty Notice. Goulding failed to pay the fine and as a result action was taken through the courts. Magistrates ordered him to pay a fine of £175, court costs of £125 and a £15 victim surcharge. Coun David Kerr, cabinet member with responsibility for environmental health, said: "Since the smoke free regulations were brought in over a year ago there have been very few cases where we have had to resort to issuing Fixed Penalty Notices. "That, in part, is due to the large amount of publicity there has been about the regulations and the fact that most people realise that the laws are there for a good reason – to protect public health. "Nobody has an excuse in saying that they are not aware of the implications of the regulations and we will continue to take action where we have evidence that they are being broken." |
