What if your in the act of picking up the lighter, about to light up and then need to change gear?
Yes, some people have automatic cars....but the maj in uk still don't. A motorist would know a gear change is coming up anyway so wait until done before picking up lighter etc. Do you smoke? |

I've had a fag end land between my cars bonnet and window and smoke was coming out, could have easily set my car on fire if I had a mass of leaves stuck in there.

What you forget is that even reasonable people have their limits. |

Can we have a few prized clowns here to own up to driving whilst smoking, keeping their window open to trash the streets with their smelly fag ash, then flick out their fag end at another car or member of the public?
Quote:
Honestly, I wish I was braver and stronger as I shove that fag end up the clowns rear if I saw someone throw out fag ends out of vehicles. You should mention this a bit more. I'm not sure enough people read it the previous 40 times. I'll also ask the question again, how many times has it been recorded that a cigarette end flew from one car into the open window of another? I've had a fag end land between my cars bonnet and window and smoke was coming out, could have easily set my car on fire if I had a mass of leaves stuck in there. Also a risk the same fag end could have dropped in some car with the window open, on someone. Quote:
At work, a colleague told me how a clown flicked a fag end and it dropped on his passenger seat, a Mercedes CLK convertible and damaged his leather seat. The Merc driver followed the clown in Corsa that threw the fag end and challenged the Corsa driver and told him to pay for the repairs and demanded an exchange of details for insurance needs. Sadly, the Corsa driver, a right through and a clown decided to attack my colleague. Little did the Corsa driver know that the Merc driver was a rugby player and my colleagues in self-defence picked up the thug and slammed him down into the road. The thug soon calmed down and soon exchanged details, lol
Why do I not believe this? Firstly, it seems made up to further your 'campaign' as it's pretty much the situation that you've been talking about possibly happening for the past 12 pages. Secondly, the last thing I would be doing if somebody "slammed" me into the road would be to give them any of my details. |

What I post is true but no matter what I say, there will be some that will hold their own opinions. You ask me fag ends dropping on other cars and how many times i have seen this. Happened to me once, works colleage told me about this burnt seat where he had to self defend. My dad drives more than I do and he has seen it several times, what more can I say? |

They've got a point though
Sadly, smokers know that it is dangerous to smoke and drive and they are also aware that 99% will flick ash onto the public/roads/streets and then flick out their fag end when they finish. They know they are irresponsible, ill-educated, and nasty as no decent person trashed the streets with little on a daily basis. ![]() These smokers won't like this thread as it's too close to the home truths. |

So it only drivers who smoke you have a problem with or people who smoke in general. The streets are seem to be full of rubbish from fast foods more than fag ends

There is hardly a car that comes with a lighter/ashtray and that is a fact. You have to pay extra for the ashtry/lighter. Most smokers can't afford a new car, so where does the ash and fag end go - I rest my case!!

Tim, you will find this hard to digest but on the whole, it is the same people that trash our streets with fag ends that drop the other litter, it's a vicious cycle for them.

Some actual reported stats of a cigarette being flicked from a car and going into another one would be nice.

Yes, several times. Twice when I was stopped at red traffic lights, a corsa went into my backside and the other time it was a bmw 3 series.
Another time when a corsa pulled out in front of me at a roundabout, and recently a bmw 3 series hit my car as it was parked in a NCP car park their cctv caught the chavvy driver for me. Well, I've been driving and smoking coming up for 30 years and I've never had a scrape.......of course there's always the possibility I've left a wake of devastation behind me every time I've lit up🚬 |

![]() ...if a smoker really couldn't afford a new car then they'd buy a second-hand one. You know, an older car, one that comes with an ash tray and cigarette lighter. Duh! Really now, 12 pages and all you've proved is that you have no actual facts to back up any of your ridiculous assertions such as the 99% and your stories have an air of fiction about them that makes this all look too desperate on your part. You've got a weak argument and you're pushing that position without any credible supporting evidence. Isn't is about time you gave this up as a bad job? |

My colleague was attacked just because he demanded the clowns details for insurance purposes. If my colleague had not taken decisive action the thug would have beaten him up, so it was self-defence.
