Throwing lit Butts out your window???

[nedro]

I can't figgin' believe my eyes. Bastard in a Lexus in front of me throws one out his window...INTO THE DRY BRUSH ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD this morning. WTF?
Ya, ya... I know...
M4M, where are you?

 

[9rPilot]

Get his tag number and phone it in. CHP is very interested in stopping this activity right about now.

 

[auntiebling]

it's an expensive ticket. a friend got one years ago, littering and a special violation for "throwing a lit object from a car" or something like that

 

[Zerox]

As they say in San Fran, NUTS TO BUTTS.

Wow... were you riding when you got that plate? I often see something along that kind of behavior and want to write it down, but as I have CRS (can't remember sh.t) I usually forget the number before 1/4 mile.

Stop, pick it up, drive up next to him and toss it back in his car. Preferably on top of loose newspapers...

 

[Mike Dinger]

If the guy drives a Lexus, he can afford the littering ticket, hell, if he can afford to smoke cigarettes he can afford to pay a littering ticket. He probably won't stop flippin' butts until he gets into trouble...so Nedro...it's up to you man, make that call.

I beileve Mm4m is on mutual aid to San Diego fires. :|

Find an ashtray in the business park, take all the butts, place them in a plastic bag, put them on his car and leave a note saying:

"Hi! I picked these up for you. I hope you never start a fire and kill anyone by tossing lit cigarettes out the window. Thank You."

 

[layla17]

I've been keeping an eye for the same activity. It's ridiculous that these drivers can't just put the butt in the ashtray.

I use them both quite often.

One of my favorites was pulling over the guy who decided to toss his freshly chewed wad of tobacco out his window as I was along side him. Nicely decorated the windscreen on my motor. He could tell I was none too pleased when I issued him the citation and then cleaned my bike.

 

[Junkie]

I saw a small fire on the side of US101 yesterday, probably from someone doing this...

I like that one. when I ride by someone and you can tell they are smoking, I am always wondering if one might fly down my jacket or something and that would suck big time

 

[highonF4i]

yeah, fires aside, smokers need to not be throwing their butts period. Shit pisses me off, you don't throw your fast food trash out your window, why throw your butts?

 

[VFRrider]

I used to throw mine out the window thinking, eh? what's the big deal? I've recently stopped doing it however, not because it's something I can get cited for, but I dont want to be starting any fires or hitting a fellow motorcyclist with one. I just keep a bottle with a little bit of water and throw my butts in there now.
