Smoking and Driving Don’t Mix
 
VIENNA: Not only drinking, but also smoking while driving poses greater health
and accident risks.
Fiddling with cigarettes and lighters can distract a driver, increasing the chances of
an accident. By the same token, cigarette smoke with its carbon monoxide fumes can slow
down drivers’ reflexes.
The Austrian motorist’s federation OAMTC said that in Austria, smoking poses a
further risk. If, for example, a driver has an accident while trying to recover a cigarette
accidentally dropped on the floor, then his insurance company may not have to cover the
damages because the driver was culpable of gross negligence while at the wheel.
