i like the smoker who doesnt see a problem with littering the roads with his fag butts. im sure all the peoples cars who have caught fire because its sucked up a fag end agaisnt a paper filter with a massive amount of fresh air rushing past it would probably have something to say,

 :laugh:

yes.. this happens every day doesnt it! Do you drive a VW or a Dyson??

The best thing I've ever seen is a bloke with a fag in his right hand out the window, whilst he held his phone with his left hand to his right ear steering with his left elbow.
He was in a work van too.
tut tut... everyone knows in those circumstances its much easier to steer with your knees  :lipsrsealed:

I somehow highly doubt that's a massive problem tbh.

At times I can smell the ciggy through my heater vents from the car infront.

Had a serious fuel leak in my engine bay once in grid locked traffic. Guy infront flicks a cig end directly under my engine bay!!!  :shocked:


I say ban smoking in cars because i dont like smoker smell. Stinks, not healthy, messy, cig butts on MY land thrown from cars pisses me off.

Put the tax up on cigs and lower fuel costs!

HATE butt ends everywhere, should just get on the spot £50 fines IMO.

But if your car went up that's your fault for the fuel leak. Anything could have set that alight, can't blame the smoker if that had happened.

They do that, in Manchester at least.  Get caught throwing a cigerette out of the car and they fine you.  My boss gone done for it  :grin:

Thats one sensitive nose you have there mr blue!! Would it not have been better to get your fuel leak looked at rather than worrying why a guy has flicked a cig butt out of his window :huh:

Good.  :cool:

They put up a box on the wall on our lane at work. Did stop the ciggarette ends until another garage owner knocked it off with a pickup. Some clever twit decided that instead of putting it on the outside wall of the building on the pavement side they would put it on the inside wall so it's making a tight lane even tighter.  :rolleyes:
