    If it's good enough to stick in your mouth, it's good enough to hang around in your car with you for awhile.

    Please don't throw your butts out the window.
    Echoing this for emphasis. Those of us who ride tend to get angry when people throw things out the window. If it actually hits someone it's a safety issue for the rider and the litterbug.

      Personally, I'm not a fan when someone's unextinguished butt comes in through my window and showers me with embers.

      It's really hard to enjoy my own cig while small bits of flesh are being seared.

        Why cell phone use is just a ticket and not points agaisnt your record is beyond me. Its just as dangerous or worse as drunk driving and it gets a free pass. Texting is even more dangerous as you can't text and watch the road.

        Throwing cigarettes out the window in SoCal deserves a fine of at least $1,000.00..its a tinder box out there.

        That said, I hope she gets some slack as it was her birthday and I bet she learned her lesson.
        I love America for the rights and freedoms we used to have.

            I agree with all of you. I blew a gasket when she told me. The crappy thing here is she ain't paying for it, I am. I'm the only income in the house. If she worked had money, I would want her to pay the Max, that's one of my pet peeves. I know the first offense has a mandatory 8hrs of community service. U guys think she can do more hrs of picking up trash instead of a fine. Because I don't want to get pentilized for her screw up.

              I remember as a kid going to traffic school that only clear water and chicken feathers may be discharged from a vehicle. I'm guessing that hasn't changed.

                And THAT is just one reason why smokers are disliked.

                  Smokers toss cigarette butts on the streets and sidewalks because they do not care and they're so used to doing it (and resent anybody telling them otherwise).

                  And I bet she will continue tossing her cigarette butts out of the car. She'll just look around for cops before doing so.

                    I'm guessing hay feed must have been added. Those trucks are also a pain in the butt to follow in a 2 wheeler.

                        They changed "chicken feathers" to "feathers from live birds." So now a poultry truck going down the road will always have ONE chicken in it to account for the "live bird" part of the law.

                            If you see someone throw a cigarette out the window will anything happen of you report them?

                              Not all, but most smokers are friggin pigs. It would be nice if they would all just die an early death from lung cancer, preferably before they breed.
