Don't sniff at the power of the old bill.

Following the case of the Ayrshire driver who was fined for blowing his nose whilst in a queue of stationery traffic with the handbrake on (as reported in the Daily Mail), perhaps all traffic officers should be on the lookout for boxes of tissues on vehicle dashboards. The next time you're pulled over, don't be surprised if Mr Plod starts grovelling around on the floor looking for snotty tissues.
