Why do idiots throw cigarettes out car windows?

just flick it at the floor. FFS it isn't that hard surely? I used to smoke like a trooper in my car but I'd wind the window down and FLICK IT AT THE FLOOR! Unless you're on a petrol station forecourt or freshly laid tarmac that's still setting, I can't see what the problem is?
You don't see littering as a problem? I assume you'd be quite happy if people started chucking crisp packets over your garden fence then? It's nothing to do with being pro- or anti-smoking, it's just that littering is a horrible thing to do.

Shush.
Oooh, just as you breathed out on the second "sh" I got a strong waft of, I think, Marlboro Light. Are you one of those "Marlboro Lights because they're not as bad for you" smokers? If so, may I poke you with this low-fat Polonium 210 tipped umbrella?No doubt you tell yourself that no-one can tell you're a smoker but....we can. Because you smell.

And everyone can tell I'm a smoker, because I smoke.
Get back in your box.

because he probably didn't realise you were there! Sorry, don't know much about TVR's but if it was a convertable or hard top you were driving did it cause any damage?, Set light to your fibreglass? give you lung cancer? set light to a child, or God
Aside from it being a litter hazzard & unsociable, Get over it.
This happened to a family friend.Aside from it being a litter hazzard & unsociable, Get over it.
A lit cigarette was thrown from a car and lodged itself somewhere under the bonnet, car (Corsa) preceded to catch fire while driving along. Total write off. Worse part was the car was the persons first and they'd just bought it after getting a job. She was 19, had to stand by the side of the road crying her eyes out while her pride and joy went up in smoke.
As there was no identifiable person to blame, (ar5ehole) Insurance company wouldn't payout.
When driving my recently purchased Mk9 Jag home, it broke down on the A1(water in the petrol). While waiting for help, I sat on the side of the road cos it was a sunny day. Along came a BMW 316. I wonder if he's going to offer to help? I thought. No, he leaped out of the car, opened the rear door and threw his jacket on the floor and stamped on it. Odd! I thought. Apparently not for someone who has chucked a fag end out of the window, only to find a few minutes later, it went back in his rear window and set fire to his jacket and the back seat of his car.
His wife said it served him right as he'd done something similar at her parents house, and set fire to their Leylandii hedge.

Why do people even smoke whilst driving? The feckless, nicotine addled addicts.
Do you find it difficult to breath while driving? There's not much more to it...kambites said:
Well that's clearly not true, because it seems that at least the disposing of the buts in a socially acceptable fashion is beyond the wit of many smokers.
Struggling with the logic flow there...Anyway, I agree. All those fag ends at the side of the motorway are really offensive.
My old man's boss had someone flick a cigarette out the window of the car in front of him on a dual carriageway once, while he was driving my old man's company car. It came straight in the open window, over his shoulder, down his back and burned a bloody great hole in both his shirt and the driver's seat by the time he'd negotiated 2 lanes of traffic, shed 80mph and got the door open to get out.
Any smokers who think this is acceptable ... well, I'm staggered. Laziness, arrogance ... Modern Britain in a nutshell I guess.
