Motorists across the country may be slapped with a hefty £100 fine for forgetting to take off their jacket this winter due to a little-known driving law, a motoring expert has warned
Motorists could face a hefty £100 fine this winter for not removing their jackets due to an obscure driving law, warns a leading expert. As temperatures plummet, drivers are likely to bundle up in heavy coats and jackets before entering their chilly vehicles.
Liam Barnes, manager at motoring experts TopReg, highlighted the risks of removing a coat while driving and urged individuals to take off their jackets before setting off. He said: "Taking off your winter jacket is a common mistake drivers make during colder weather, as their cars take longer to warm up and the weather outside gets cooler."
"Make sure you remove your jacket and any extra clothing before you start your car and set off. It might be chilly at first, but could help you avoid a steep fine.", reports the Express.
