Those damn smokers (in cars) !!!!!!!

Soooooooooo pissed off today: Finally got a bit of clear weather to continue running in my new 1200 Bandit, and some %$#%#$ in the car in front of me tosses his used butt out of his car's window, and it ends up burning a nasty hole in my riding jacket. Got his rego, will try and cause some trouble for him at the cops......

Post his rego on the site. One of us will come accross him sooner or later and set fire to his piece of shit tin top. Pisses me off when people throw butts out the window. Damn dangerous too.

It was a red Mitsubishi (I don't know what model, they all look the same to me), rego ZO8121. I wouldn't mind finding out what his address is, I'd like to go and lay a personal claim for replacement of my $500 jacket, which I could hardly afford in the first place.

I think you can find out his name and address from going to nz post and paying a few bucks.

Sucks about your jacket though. Should have gone past and kicked his mirrors in.

Another good argument for wearing leather...

Yeah, the things some people will throw out of their car windows. I've seen whole left over dinners of KFC & McD's thrown out of moving vehicles into the middle of the road...imagine if you had an open Big Mac splatter against your clean visor causing you to bin your pride and joy!

Sorry to hear about your expensive jacket, the worst I've ever suffered like that is a couple of bad bee stings on my neck...better a bee than a burning butt though.

You can go to any NZ Post shop, pay $2.50 and get the address where the car is registered to.

It always gives me the shits seeing butts (cigarette!) come out the window, and have luckily never had one hit me or my bike, but realised the potential was there. I would lay a complaint with the police first, asking for compensation for a new jacket (what sort was it?)

Good luck. Let us know what happens.

PS: welcome to the KB site!!

Totally unnecessary when they have an ashtray right under the radio! I've nearly been agitated to the point of retalliation due to the same offence recently, too.
I stop to enjoy my ciggarettes.

[torban]

Thanks for the welcome, and one of the other members have already supplied the registered address of the car's owner, for which I thank him again. I am going to follow your advice though, and lay a charge with the cops this morning. The jacket is a K-way, which I brought to NZ from South Africa. Will keep everyone up to date with what's happening regarding this matter.

[Coldkiwi]

good on ya mate. I've seen plenty of cigarttes getting thrown out and I've been lucky not to catch any.

inconsiderate littering pricks the lot of them!
