Cigarette Butts Thrown out the window!!.

Forgot to say that you can dob in a tosser on 131555.

Hi Boo Boo, Its a real worry now with some of them,!!! THEY DON"T GIVE TWO HOOTS!!.....Litter around the place is getting out of hand.

Cheers Mate.

I Hate it too!!!!
Here's another take on the whole thing too....and it's not just in rural or bushfire prone areas.
I was riding my pride and joy $30K motor bike behind one of the above said offenders. I had my leather jacket on with just the collar undone a little for some air flow. Travelling down Lower North East road in Campbelltown when this male apendage head decides to flick a lit ciggy butt out the window in front of me. And where do you think it went? Yep....straight down my collar and into my jacket.
It burnt like hell and I had a hard time trying to stop in traffic without dropping the bike or swerving into the adjacent lane.
I was obviously too preoccupied to note the rego number but I now avoid travelling behind or next to cars when I can smell ciggy smoke (and yes...you can smell it even from a moving vehicle), or see the tell tale arm out the window.
I strongly agree that it is something that should be policed and enforced HEAVILY.

The word Dobber has always held me back, But after this week i will try to be the biggest dobber out there!!.

Hi Bushranger,
I think you would need to provide more than vehicle details to 'dob in' a litterer. For any successful prosecution you would have to have seen and be able to recognise the offender and be prepared to give evidence in a court.
The authorities can't prosecute the vehicle they have to proceed against a person.

correct Kev ! mate of mine got ''dobbed in'' recieved a Fine in the Mail, with the right to go to court if he wanted to deny it, He denied it ?? said he would go to court, 3 weeks later got another letter in the mail, Saying that the matter is withdrawn, and no further action will be taken ?? Rang up to ask Why !! and was told that the ''dobber'' was not prepared to go to court and give evidence ?? He demanded that it does proceed to court as he would like to see the person who dobbed him in and prove him wrong, as the complaint is ''malicious'' However they would not proceed, and only withdraw the fine,, My mate has NEVER smoked, and cannot stand anyone smoking near him, as He has only ONE LUNG
So you don't have to throw anything out of a car to be ''Dobbed On''

Hi folks
I live in a very fire prone area of NSW and if there's one thing I can't stand it is cigarette butt tossers.
I've never been a dobber until the last couple of years when I've started my own campaign to dob in as many butt tossers as possible, I think I'm up to about 30 this year, they have all been fair dinkum, where I have definitely seen a cigarette (usually alight) tossed from the car.
As I understand it the culprit gets a warning letter from EPA for the first reported offence and is then on file for any more offences after that.
In NSW ust ring 131555, they will ask you your name and phone number, also the make, model and rego of the vehicle you saw, where you saw it and who tossed the fag ie male driver, female driver, passenger etc.
We need to get out of our own comfort zones and report these morons.
Stay safe out there

A few years ago, wifie and I were stopped at a road repair stop sign. A car of three young guys pulled up behind and having just finished their lunch, put all the wrappers together, threw it out the passenger side. I could see it all in the rear view mirror.

We took down the number and the description and of course, they didn't spend long behind me so we got descriptions front and rear. After phoning the number, later went on the web and downloaded the form and filled it and sent in.

You only were asked any more if the offender decided they wanted to challenge the sighting. I heard no more, so guess the driver got a $200 fine and paid.

I am keen to sit on a tram and take movie images of people that throw their butts as the tram approaches in Melbourne. I have seen it frequently. Be a good YouTube clip.

Na, not going to jump all over you, but you can buy ashtrays at motor accessory outlets for a minimal outlay.
I was given this as an excuse after giving some lip to a ciggie butt tosser, and I pointed out that his car wasn't fitted with a toilet, and he couldn't the same excuse to defecate out the car window.
He had no printable response.
Cheers.

Ha Ha Ha !!!

I reckon that's a great comeback for no ashtray in the car. I was trying to think of a comment to add but that's a ripper.

Cheers

Hahahaha

Yeah you just beat me to it Stu

Nice one brushmarx, I guess the response you got speaks volumes about that clown.

Cheers

The manufacturer's mentality behind the "no ash tray - no cig lighter" trend is why should everyone pay for an accessory that only a (dying) minority use?
Lots of cars now have the accessory plug (for phones, GPS etc) but no lighter plunger.
Makes sense to me in a competative market...if it saves a few $$$

Bloke told me this yarn, about when he was managing a property down around Riverina.

New stationhand had started work this morning, and the manager, and owner, were talking to him, and no doubt checking him, in the flesh, so to speak.

During the course of conversation the stationhand gets out his tin of Log Cabin, and rolls a smoke with the last of the tobacco. He then drops the empty tin on the ground.

The owner, a dry old bloke, asks the new fellar, how long he was at his last job. The station hand replies: "5 years, Mr So & So"

The old bloke replies: " Jeez, you must have been up to your armpits in tobacco tins by then"
