| Wang v. A Local Traffic Police Detachment in Shanghai City (Appeal Case Regarding Dispute over Road Traffic Administrative Penalties and Administrative Reconsideration)—— | | 王某与上海市某交警支队等道路行政处罚及行政复议纠纷上诉案 |
| Driving While Smoking Penalized for Undermining Safe Driving: Court Considers the Administrative Penalty Appropriate | | ——开车吸烟被罚款不服 法院：属于妨碍安全驾驶行为 行政处罚决定于法不悖并无不当 |
| Many people are aware that drivers are prohibited from making phone calls or using mobile phones. However, one important point is often overlooked: Smoking while driving is also illegal and can result in fines or penalties. | | 许多人都知道，开车时司机不能接电话、玩手机，但也许你忽略了一点：开车时吸烟同样属于违法行为，会被罚款处罚。 |
| Recently, the Shanghai First Intermediate People's Court concluded a case involving administrative penalties for a driver smoking inside a vehicle, upholding the decision made by a local traffic police detachment in Shanghai City (hereinafter referred to as the "Detachment"). | | 近日，上海市第一中级人民法院就审结了一起驾驶员车内吸烟的道路交通行政处罚案件，法院支持了上海市某交警支队（以下简称“交警支队”）的处罚决定。 |
| [Case Review] | | 【案情回放】 |
| On September 20, 2023, Mr. Wang was stopped by traffic police for smoking while driving a car. The police officer informed him that smoking while driving constituted an offence that undermines safe driving, and imposed a fine of CNY 200. Although surprised, Mr. Wang signed the penalty notice. Upon returning home, he consulted online the Law of the People's Republic of China on Road Traffic Safety (hereinafter referred to as the "Road Traffic Safety Law") and found no explicit prohibition against smoking while driving. Consequently, he applied for administrative reconsideration with the Jinshan District government, which upheld the initial penalty after reviewing the case. Dissatisfied, Mr. Wang filed an administrative lawsuit with the Minhang District People's Court in Shanghai, seeking to overturn both the penalty and the reconsideration decision. | | 2023年9月20日，王某开车途中吸烟被交警拦下，交警告诉王先生，驾车时吸烟属于妨碍安全行车行为的违法行为，并且对王先生罚款人民币二百元。王先生很惊讶，但还是在处罚决定书上签了名。回家后，王先生上网查阅《中华人民共和国道路交通安全法》（以下简称“《道路交通安全法》”），发现法律条文并没有明确规定开车吸烟是违法行为，于是王先生先向上海市金山区人民政府（以下简称“金山区政府”）申请行政复议，金山区政府经全案审查后维持了前述被诉处罚决定。王先生仍不服，又向上海市闵行区人民法院提起行政诉讼，要求法院判令撤销被诉处罚决定及被诉复议决定。 |
| ．．．．．． | | 【以案说法】 |
| | 一审法院认为，吸烟过程中产生的烟雾可能会影响驾驶员视线，在一定程度上会分散驾驶员在驾车时的注意力，影响驾驶员对车辆的有效操控及道路交通突发情况的及时处置，客观上存在妨碍安全驾驶的情况。在此情形下，交警支队认定王先生驾车时实施了“其他妨碍安全行车的行为”的违法行为，并根据《道路交通安全法》第九十条之规定处以罚款二百元，认定事实清楚，适用法律正确，驳回王先生的诉讼请求。 |
