Keep Brittain Tidy
« on: 09 July 2009, 09:04:25 »
just seen on the news they want every one to get fined for flicking cig butts on the floors, apple cores etc.  I have no problem with that (A Fine)

But they want to take it one step further for motorists and get points on thier licences.

To add to that they want us to report litter bugs.  So what happens when a motorist get's pee'd off with annother motorist, or a pedestrian get's pee'd of with a motorist, Ah they go on the keep brittain tidy web site and report them.  (and before photographic evidence gets mentioned there are some good photoshop artists out there that can make the camera lie)

A mates girlfriend got caught chucking a fag on the pavement a few week's ago in Doncaster, she was horrified when she got a tap on the shoulder and given an £80 fine.

I remember a few years back my dad was fined 130 euro for chucking a butt out his window. While debating what to do, the next week he got the litter warden in his taxi that fined him, sorted ;D ;D

Getting points on a license is taking the p1ss >:( I'd say pedestrians dump more rubbish than drivers >:(

Of course there is, as always, as simple solution.....

If people didn't chuck stuff out of their windows there would be no discussion .... it matters not if it is a motoring offence or not .. littering in ANY way ...pedestrian, motoring, whatever .. is OFFENSIVE.

If you don't do it, you can't be punished. simple really ...  :)

One place they would earn a fortune in fimes is McDonald's car park, but would they be able to enforce a fine there.
