Here is my solution if ever they ban smoking in cars with children in it. If I need a fag I shall pull over and tell the kids to go stand on the pavement until I'm finished.

If this is about preventing dangerous driving (and they can't even enforce the "no mobile phone" ban) then I can't think of anything more dangerous than driving with a couple of screaming kids in the back. Therefore - ban driving if there are children in the car.

Also, sometimes a passenger will talk to me thus causing a distraction. The solution is to ban passengers. And no dogs allowed in the car in case it jumps up and startles the driver.

I'm sure there are lots of things that contribute to bad driving but instead of banning specific things there should be more enforcement of the existing laws about driving without due care and attention (whatever the cause).
