Sometimes I wish more people over here would be fined for flicking cigarette butts out the window. They have caused a devastating amount of damage through bushfires.
You would think that if he was smoking in his cab and it's against policy then he'd get a warning or sacked from his job. That part of it is a bit weird to me.

I agree, there is no excuse for starting fires and littering.
It causes more damage than most can imagine here in FL. |

Reminds me of the assholes round here who can't be bothered to bag up their leaves and grass cuttings, so they blow them into their neighbor's gardens and onto the road. I wonder what they think happens to them then? How freaking lazy is that? We get free collection of such compostibles. And these are the people who are surprised when the storm drains back up and overflow because they're full of rotting leaves etc. Wonder where in the hell those came from? Someone should do something about that....
oops, was I ranting again? *sigh*

Here were encouraged to rake or blow them into the gutter. The city comes by every couple of weeks and scrapes them up.

I smoke in my cab but unlike most, I do not flick the butt out...I use an ashtray. I'd hate to think that that wildfire I saw on TV which happened to occur just AFTER I passed through that area might have been caused by my carelessness.
