Trucker Fined for Smoking in the Cabin!

Canadian truckers are angry at how absurd interpretation of the law against smoking in places of work.

Canadian truckers are angry after they found out that a colleague has been fined by police guild with $ 305 for smoking in lorry cab which drove him and also that it owns. The reason given by police is downright ridiculous: cab truck is considered the driver's workplace, a place where under the legislation, smoking is prohibited.

Here widely scheme of action-free logic logic police: as the legislative act "Smoke-Free Ontario Act, no person is allowed to smoke or carry any form of tobacco is lit while a closed public place or in a closed job. Under this legislation, health bosses program that stretches and acts against smoking inside vehicles considered, whatever their nature, that is owned by drivers or not, to be included in the legal phrase "enclosed workplaces".

Thus, the Ontario police pulled over a truck driver for 48 years old, originally from London, for smoking in own van and fined him $ 305. Learned something that all Canadian truckers.

In a strict interpretation, the police were right, but from another point of view, raise serious questions police action on private property and its use, especially when the driver of the truck is and its legal owner.

These truckers often spend good chunks of life in their truck, literally living in them, so after all is a living space or a space to work?

However, despite the fine for the case, truckers and will not change habits, or in the near future!
