Smoking car drivers, a rant.

[Fisty]

Why oh why oh why do car drivers who smoke feel the need to empty their ash trays out onto the road??

Whilst filtering today a dozy bint decided to open her door to empty her ash tray just as i was approaching, nearly knocking me off.

Also I have a scar on my face from my scootering days when a moron flicked his fag out of the window hitting me in the face.

Its just not on! Empty your stinking mess in the bin when you get home!

And no they wont "biodegrade" as my mate tried to argue, they are made of plastic, wood pulp, aceitc acid, benzene and various other nasty crap.

Rah.

Carry round a bag of ash and cig butts, then they do it, just throw yours in there to replace theirs.
Maybe a good idea to be on a quick bike as well...


Cant you report them for littering?

Just stop being a drama queen.

I pay my council tax and my road tax, they dont take my bin bags or fix the road, so I am entitled to flick my fag butts where I want.

when im smoking in my car and wish to throw my fag butt out the window, i get fed up when theres a bike behind me and ive pulled over slightly to let them pass so they doint get a face full of fag end and they just stay where they are.
i then end up holding on to the fag till theyve eventually overtaken or ive arrived at me destination,

i cant reach my ash tray and drive at the same time

Really out of all the problems on the road (pot holes, leaking diesel, ect) fag ends are really one of the smaller problems. But no the don’t bio degrade the filters are made from Cellulose acetate which stays around for a while.

Still my biggest problem with car drivers is when they talk on there phones, no matter what anyone says you can’t have total control over your car while chatting to ya wife.

It's not just fag ash, fag butts and fag packets that get thrown out onto the road. I've seen Coke cans, newspapers, shoes, feck - everything get launched out of car windows.

Lazy, dirty cnuts can't get the inside of teh car dirty, no. Let's just tip all our crap out where everyone can see it. Grr, twats.

Much like the wankers that throw litter about in the street, even when they're yards from a bin. Winds me up.

Fag but's i will flick out but I do look for bikes first. All other rubbish goes into the passanger footwell where it gets binned properly every few weeks.

One of the things I have noticed biking is how you can smell everything around you. As an ex-smoker I slow down when filtering past smokers to get that lovely whiff. God know if I make it to eighty I am going to take it back up, screw my lungs by then.

Smokers in cars piss me off, there is a ton of stuff they can do before they chuck it out the window.; I think they are just lazy fucks TBH........

If I saw a fag almost hit me I would get off the bike and put it in there window see how they like it.

Hmm, I have dislike to people smoking in cars, only reasons being that if they get rid of their fag butt by flicking it out of the window and it hits you, your either going to get burnt or your bike gear damaged.

I would be very pissed off if a fag butt landed on my jacket and burnt a hole, infact I think I would fall them and tell them that they are paying for a repair/new one.

Well if I spend £320 on a jacket I'm not letting some ignorant twat burn a hole in it, ruining the gore-tex water proofing where it burns the hole.

It would be like trying to drink from a cup of tea while it has a small hole in the bottom on the cup. You'd have most of the cup keeping the water in except for one place where it can leak out, making it useless.

I'd imagine it would be called criminal damage if they burn a hole in your clothes?

I know what he was on about, just the fact he rambled on about cups of tea and some other bollocks.

I did dispose of it properly, if i didn't i would have holes in the carpet in my car.

[Charlie]

I don't mind them being flicked out, as long as it doesn't hit a motorcyclist or cyclist.

I know it is a bit random; I was trying to illustrate that having a hole in the jacket would make it much less useful.

i have an hour and a half commute to work and enjoy a smoke and im short and can not reach the ashtray without looking, anyway its full of chewing gum! see i hate people who chuck gum on the ground especially as it gets sticky and you end up with it on your shoes.
Now i know that the reason why some bikes appear to slow down or not pass me is due to the fact they have obviously given up and just wanting to have a good long snufty at the smoke i blow out my window, I shall be more understanding, I mean, theres not really that much hassle having to wait, I could even offer them one if its at a junction, what do you think?

We all have bad habits but while driving i shall carry on puffing at me fags guilt free. At least i do take bikers into consideration while indulging in this filthy habit. what i do not do ever is the following.

talk on a phone,
apply makeup
tidy my hair
eat or drink
read maps
use windscreen wipers in front of bikes (motorbikes that is)
retaliate when my other half punches me in the arm every time he sees a mini
