Throwing cigarette end out of moving car

I once saw a passenger flick a ciggy out of her window onto an on coming convertible car. The convertible then crashed into a mothercare shop as she was trying to avoid the mother and buggy on the pavement. The poor driver then stumbled out of her car and into an oncoming truck. The shop began to smoulder before exploding. This explosion took out the adjacent shops, one of which was a fireworks shop which subsequently exploded causing an emergency response from the Cobra. That evening the president of the UN declared a state of emergency.

Hope you got a hefty fine. They should also fine those who stand outside pubs and litter the place with their cigarette butts.
And them that stand outside and spew up everywhere ! and them that thro the take-away rubbish on the paths !
I would have imagined it would have been a stationary camera.
Could not be staitionary in a moving car !
The enforcer would had to have lightning reflexes to catch you throwing your cigarette butt out of the window and put on the record function on at the same time.A Bast**d I May Be ! I Was Born One !
Whats Your Excuse ?0 -
this dirty habit really annoys me & I think the ppl who do this are really poor human beings.
I understand ppl smoke but why you have to throw your toxic rubbish out is really poor judgement, you deserve everything you get.
A friend of ours was really upset when a mcnugget did this & the fag end hit his baby son in the face. He had to pull over on a dangerous road to pull the burning fag end off his son & luckily it didnt burn his sons face.
Poor excuse for a human being is putting it very nicely

Nevermind the dubious safety stories - its littering and against the law and that's the main point. It's like the complete morons that throw their fags on the floor when they're stood about 2 foot from a bin. Total scumbags in my opinion0 -
Lets face it, some people had useless parent's who never taught their children proper manners or moral judgement and so will dump rubbish anywhere with no regard to anyone else.
There is a bin right outside my house at my request of the council and the neighbours son who is around 20 visits with friends and some will dump beer cans, fag ends and various food wrappers on the floor all around rather than go and put it in the bin. They will even dump it around the bin itself rather than put it in. While a minority will walk to the bin from his parents house, about 10 meters away and put all their rubbish in to it.
It's not just fag buts thrown from cars either, some will throw chip paper wrappers with unfinished chips out of car windows. Some will park cars near the verge and discarding cans, drinks bottles and wrappers on the edge of the verge in site of a bin.
Smoking is a terrible habit and they deserve to be social lepers IMO. Harming their own lungs, immune systems and skin and anyone near them and yet many turn a blind eye to it. I know the reason why they need to do it but that is no excuse for it. There are better and less costly ways of dealing with emotional tension.0 -

Look, I smoke and i dont need pr1cks like you telling me what i should or should not be doing to my own f-ing body. You dont know the reason why i smoke, you have not got the faintest clue so do yourself a favour and save your preaching for the weekends when you go knocking round peoples houses.one of the famous 50 -

Has anybody popped up with "WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!!!!" yet, or can I have first go? :-)0 -

Smokers should stub their ciggys out on non smokers foreheads but only if the non smoker is an opinionated sanctimonious bottom dropping.
All this jibber jabber talk of manners of ciggy flicking is making me want to reach for my benson and hedges gold. I may even flick the butt onto a cyclist.
Anybody who disagrees with my opinion is only doing it because deep down they agree with me.

Because you're addicted to nicotine perchance?0
