Drivers are being warned they could face a fine of up to £5,000 for breaking a rule in the Highway Code. Rule 237 states that your vehicle needs to be well ventilated. Tiredness at the wheel means the drowsy driver is much slower to react to road conditions and other road users. A poorly ventilated vehicle with a lack of air conditioning can lead to drowsiness, meaning a driver is not in full control of his vehicle. Motorists ignoring this rule risk a large fine in serious cases. Breaking the Highway Code could see you handed a £100 on-the-spot fine and three penalty points on your licence, and if the incident were to go to court, the fine could jump to as much as £5,000, nine penalty points and possibly a driving ban.
