I'm unable to discover what the outcome of the court case was, but this goes to show that you can indeed be fined for drinking water in a stationary vehicle. |
She didn't just drink at a red light,
she was still holding the bottle as she started off from the lights.
She was convicted and got a £40 fine and £50 costs.
