    It's a scummy thing to do. Cigarette butts out the window drives me nuts too. I can't imagine reporting them will do much, as you've nothing by the way of physical evidence. It doesn't sound like your wife has your backing on this one.

    I agree with you however, b-harte 1, wifey 0.

    Got one of those in the face once while out on the bike. It was still burning and could very well have put me on the tarmac. Same problem for open topped cars.

    After a GAA match, bus loads of fans on their way home, a glass bottle hit me on the shin. That stung quite a bit even with the padding.

    Do they actually though? Surely you must need to have some sort of proof otherwise that system is wide open to abuse
    You can appeal it, as it's usually "someone saw you throw litter out the window", and unless a Garda saw you do this, you can sometimes deny it, but the guilty just usually pay up, horrified that they got caught :P

    just got a call from council. had to give specific details of where the incidents took place. fine will be issued to the registered owner of the car. will have to go to court if contested. so it would appear the council take the matter seriously.

    That is great news! Fair play to you.

    Slightly off topic, but pavement litterers are far worse. I've lost count of the times i've seen a chip shop box with paper wrappings just dumped on the street, fork there and all.
    Its like the person was eating and just immeadiately dropped everything without a second thought and kept walking :mad:

    The lack of bins argument is largely bullsh*t. Its just ignorant, lazy and disgusting behaviour, whether you're in a car or on foot.

    it's worse when you drive a motorbike and people throw fag butts out their window!

    1st thing i dont smoke, but of course you have to throw a fag out the window, otherwise your car will go up in a ball of flames.......Makes sense to me!!!
