BDifficulty 2/5

May the front-seat passenger throw an empty cigarette packet onto the road through the window of a moving vehicle?

Correct answer

No, and it is a punishable offence.

No. Keep waste inside the vehicle until it can be disposed of properly. Article 4.2 prohibits throwing objects or materials that may obstruct traffic, make it dangerous, or damage the road and its conditions. Sanctions depend on the conduct and person responsible: do not automatically assign a fixed fine or licence-point loss to the passenger in this situation, or confuse an empty packet with a lit cigarette end that could start a fire.
