Smoking at the wheel was recently included in the Highway Code as something which courts can consider as a factor when police accuse drivers of failing to have proper control of their vehicle.

I'm guessing ashtrays are no longer optional equipment in British cars.

I'm guessing ashtrays are no longer optional equipment in British cars.

An intriguing question.  I'm not seeing any evidence of an ashtray in the interior photo of this Land Rover model, and none is listed in the "accessories" section for this vehicle.

(note that even though I specifically went to the Land Rover UK site, they are using left-hand drive vehicle images)

 

However, it appears that an ashtray is still standard equipment on the 2008 Lincoln Town Car, as evidenced here on an image from the American Ford site:

 

I'm not seeing the Lincoln as being available in the UK, so I can't compare.  Land Rover is now owned by Ford, however.
