Driver fined £150 over apple core

What do you think of this?
As a driver who throws a banana skin and and apple core out of my window every day - on the basis they're biodegradable - I'm shocked!

To be fair I'd be annoyed if people dropped apple cores in built up areas on pavements on the like but wouldn't mind at all in the countryside.
It would be a bit difficult to enforce a different rule in each area so there is a blanket ban on all litter, no matter what it is. And he got fined £50 but failed to pay which is his own fault.
So I agree it's silly but can perhaps see it from the other side.

It takes 3-5 weeks for a banana skin to degrade, most bugs/insects will mulch them down. It all depends on the environmental conditions, can't see them degrading quickly on a cold hill top. Apples, pears and most other fruit would be eaten within a few hours by birds and hedgehogs, it's pop cans and fag ends they need to be worried about, all the fag ends put down drains that swell up overtime and block them, then you have the filtered chemicals that go into the water table
