Well done French Police

[Dedworth]

A Muslim woman has been fined for driving while wearing a burka because the garment 'reduced her field of vision'.

Police who stopped the woman in France compared wearing a veil over the face behind the wheel to driving with ice on the windscreen, eating a sandwich or smoking a cigarette.

The woman was handed a £28 on-the-spot fine under article 412-6 of the highway code, which states: 'Field of vision must not be restricted by either passengers, objects being transported or by the position of non-transparent objects on the windows.'

She was also told she was in breach of the country's controversial burka ban imposed last April, which outlawed anyone hiding their face in public, including in streets, shops, restaurants and cars on public roads.

Rules is rules.

Next they'll be wanting special dispensation for public stonings.
