throwing things out the window

Someone threw out a strawberry milkshake out of their window and it landed all over my windscreen while I was driving on a country road with nowhere to pull over and a two year old in the back seat.

Please do not throw your garbage out the window while driving. It is very dangerous.

You had a child in the car.......................STOP THE PRESS

What has that got to do with a milkshake hitting your windscreen?

I knew a guy who threw things out the window of his car at cars with only one working headlight so there are nutcases out there.

What about people throwing lit cigs out the window. They can easily land on a biker or get sucked through the window of a car behind.

Do no new cars have ash trays ??

Its extremely unlikely to get sucked in the window of another car. But agreed its bad to throw anything out the window of a car.

I have seen someone throw a lit butt out the front window or a car only for it to come straight back in the back window (which was only slightly ajar) and land in the rear passengers crotch. It was like something out of a carry on movie while he tried to fish it out and get rid of it.

Argh I hate that. if you want to smoke in your car, then please keep your cigarette butts in the car. It's vile to see them being thrown out the window.

Anyone who does this is a pig, and deserves all that comes to them IMO.
