Driver fuming over cigarette fine.

the thing i don't like is when anyone throws things out the window whilst on the move.

 

can't imagine it would be much fun being hit in the face by a cigarette butt.

people have ashtrays and should use them.

 

another thing i can't stand, is drivers who have to drive along with either their arm or the passengers hanging outside the window. especially when they wave them around, and you have no idea if they are beckoning you past or have lost indicators.

 

watched Top Gear today, and had Clarkson driving up to Scotland on one of his car test jaunts, and he was testing various chocolate bars, while driving. no idea how he had a hand on the wheel at one time, and undid the bars.

And what's with the comment "I don't remember doing it..." WTF???? Does he ever THINK about doing it? Does he sometimes think "hmm, now to flick my ash out of the window". For most smokers that is as natural as breathing I should think.

 

As natural as breathing is it? Does that mean smokers find it harder and harder to do over time?

I wouldnt mind at all if it was equally carried out right throughout the country. But this sort of thing varies council to council.

 

Texting or on a phone is far more dangerous

Not wearing a seatbelt

Not indicating(lazy ba$tards)

Eating and drinking whilst driving

Women doing there makeup or hair

Sitting in the outside lane when not overtaking

 

etc etc

 

Now fine for all the above and i would accept the £75 for mateys fag butt.

Wot about picking your nose? Surely you should get fined for that, i.e not being in complete control of the bogies in your car.... And I daresay they go out the window, whether you are a smoker or not....:D

James, sorry mate but that is a rediculous argument. That's like saying all maryanna smokers are raving drug addicts, which, as you know, they are not.....

 

Ok I will explain again as I think some people are reading a bit to much into what I posted, as I said it was only an example and my comment was based "in general" and stands for everything and not just smokers, as IMHO although smokers cause damage in other ways they are not the main cause of littering although a good part of it.

 

So here goes again so that people can understand (as if my last post was not clear enough) that I do not think the cause is smokers although people seem to have the blinkers on reading my post's but it was only an EXAMPLE!

You will find that he is being done for dropping his fag butt out of the window,, the last letter he recieved had a error with the spelling, ie the dripping bit, the media have yet again changed it to ash etc.

 

And as for the comment about smoking is not as bad as using a mobile whilst driving. I think they are both just as bad

I say good on them for fining him. I see so many smokers throwing there cigarette butts out of the car and don't see why they should get away with it. I also don't see why you should be allowed to drive around with a mini fire in your hand anyway. What really annoys me though are the shitty people who drive around smoking in cars with their kids in the back. That really hacks me off to see kids have to put up with that crap.

 

Of course smokers aren't evil but the cigarettes are :)

I frickin hate going out to clubs and stuff just because of the smoke.

 

Rant over
