Some of you may know about these changes but for those who don't here you go. Mike.

Thanks for the information Mike - I did not know about returning a car for a full refund.

Smoking in vehicles with under 18's in the vehicle has been in force since 2014 but does not seem to be enforced. I can't fathom out why it is illegal to smoke whilst driving a motorhome carrying anyone under 18, but once parked they can smoke as much as they like.

Ours is not to reason why ours is just to pay up when we are caught. Mike.

Having not smoked for 8+ years I won't have to worry about being caught Mike but it does seem a strange anomaly.

The clue is in the word 'motorhome'. Parked up, it becomes other than a vehicle, under certain circumstances.

Any new motoring legislation introduced is fairly academic anyway - there's hardly anyone out there enforcing it. There are plenty of nothing-to-do HATOs though, together with the odd smattering of not-very-interested PCSOs! :D

Thanks. Parking one is good to know.
