    MORONS

    Over the last few weeks I have enjoyed myself travelling around some of your wonderful countryside. Some of your countryside shows little signs of human impact (apart from grazing) and must be extremely similar to what it was a few hundred years ago.

    What ruddy well annoys me is coming across empty beer bottles/coke cans thrown out of 4 x 4 windows.

    IF the morons have room in the 4 x 4 for the full beer bottle/coke can then they have room to take the empties out and dispose of them properly.

    Large parts of UK/Europe etc are just like rubbish dumps dont let the morons ruin your wonderful countryside!


    Regards


    Brendan

    Aint it a great country

    totally agree about the bottles they are a huge problem especially with the potential for starting fires (just like ciggy butts throw out of cars too).. the cycle path next to the freeway is littered with them, i have on several occasions seen someone in a car throwing the bottle out of the car to the side of the road.. i have even seen it happen from the middle lane..

    theres too many people that dont seem to care, and it needs to stop..

    Thanks

    Steve

    Worse still is at our local camping sites! In some spots you have to watch where you step for bottle tops.

    Yep... +1

    However, you would find that the rubbish (especially beer/wine bottles) would be concentrated around certain areas...

    Yep sure is one of my biggest hates , As a kid when camping with dad one his comments that has stuck with me and my family when going and returning from the bush , What you take with you comes home with you

    And this boofhead mentality is not brand specific , I hate saying it but ive been away with people on this forum that throw their cans and rubbish where they finish

    Did i say anything , No i just walked around them and picked up their rubbish put it in a bag and put it in my car

    i cannot ever remembering throwing anything ou the window.......well maybe the odd apple core

    Then again, it used to be a lot worse in the 70s & 80s, I think the roads are generally much cleaner these days.

    I was travelling along behind someone a few years ago and they chucked a ciggie butt out the window and it came through mine.

    They were quite surprised when I pulled up next to them at the lights and chucked it back at them, together with a banana skin and an empty coke can I had.

    As a grader driver I get to see plenty of it.The 1 can distance is dead obvious.Any direction from town the cans/stubbies etc all congregate together.
    Isnt there the story of a pensioner couple funding their trip to south australia by collecting cans/bottles in their trailer en route and cashing them in at SA to get the 5cent levy??? I always considered it an urban legend.
    Havent seen too many "can scabs" working the roads lately,perhaps the rising fuel price has priced them out of the market.
    I agree,if you CAN manage to cart it in full,you CAN cart it out empty(or dispose of in a good campfire)
