Highway Code warning as drivers could face £5,000 fine over air conditioning in their car
Motorists in the UK are being warned they could be hit with fines of up to £5,000 for not turning on their air conditioning this summer.
"Drivers must have complete control over their vehicles at all times and in hot weather, keeping the vehicles well-ventilated can help to combat any mistakes being made behind the wheel. "Good ventilation is important for staying alert and driving safely. Without enough airflow, a car's interior can heat quickly, causing driver fatigue and slower reaction times."Although some rulings under the Highway Code may seem extreme to many, the government warn they are legal requirements and failure to follow them could see drivers sent to prison.
