I've been trying to catch the cigs people throw for years. One day it will happen and it's going right back in the car.

Hope you have a camera because I would love to see if this ever happened.
 
My god you guys, the roads are not a sterile place, maybe those wanting to avoid any debris should ride in a lab. C'mon fellas.
 
Whenever I see or smell someone smoking I immediately go visor down. Even as an ex smoker I can't explain why its the only piece of trash that's socially acceptable to toss out the window, especially because its smouldering, but it is. And while we're on the topic, windshield washer fluid pisses me off too. Not as bad but annoying.
 
Had numerous cigs tossed out the window when I was behind but never got hit by one.

I did, however, get hit by a RIB BONE (YEAH WTF!? of course in Woodbridge...) but luckily I was in the car. The driver was approx 10 car lengths ahead traveling in the same direction in the lane over and I saw him chuck something out of his window. It hit the ground, bounced into my path spinning, and hit the car's lower bumper. Left a nasty dent and about 2in x 2in area of chipped off paint.

Good thing I wasn't on my bike cause I'm pretty sure that'll hurt like hell..

On a side note: Went to Haliburton today and something stung my neck. That stinging feeling was annoying for the way home...

Don't ride behind pig trucks on their way to the slaughterhouse. The pigs are upset and evacuate their bowels like hippies on a binge.

So you're saying the muddy fields of Woodstock weren't MUDDY?!?

I don't blame the piggies though. Seeing their inquisitive snouts poking out of the trailer makes me appreciate even a bad day.

On a side note, the Toronto Pig Save really needs to hand out keychains or something. Who keeps a leaflet?

Ty, like I said, working in a hospital has taught me a lot about staying cool headed. When dealing with emotional people or mentally ill people, getting hot headed will only get you into trouble. I'm just glad it was a good encounter with them and like others have said hopefully they think twice about tossing their smokes out the window.

:notworthy:
 
Almost got smoked by a ciggy the other day. Got me thinking.
 
This happened to me once....lit cigarette right in the face. I twisted the throttle, pulled up alongside the perpetrator at 80km/h, stood on my seat and leaped onto his hood. I hung onto the windshield wiper and open driver side window as he tried to shake me off. This is when I pulled myself up to the open window and punched the cager in the face three times and suggested his mother took money for sexual favours.
Content with my revenge, I then stood on the hood and leaped back onto my bike which was still running alongside the car like KITT from Knight Rider. Then , I rode off into the darkness.

















Okay, maybe not. But I wanted to.
 
I'm not impressed with smokers generally. Flicking ashes and butts out car windows really aggravates me. It is not just the hazard to riders.

It's messy and disgusting. It's your stinking habit, deal with it and dispose it in your car, not our roads.

Also, significant number of wildfires get started from this self-absorbed and inconsiderate practice. I mean seriously, think about it, you're flinging a flaming missile out the window. What the hell?
 
Speaking of people not realizing about their cigarets, my own girlfriend did it to me 4 times. We were going up north, her in her car, me on my bike. I'm behind her and she's flicking them out her sunroof. I was being a good 2 second following rule boy so it really wasn't a big deal. Still, made me laugh that she was so oblivious to it. The best part was after she would do it she would look at me in the mirror and wave lol.
 
meh, i feel like people intentionally do it to see if they can hit me with it.
That or also intentionally use their windshield washers knowing I'm either behind or beside them.

Never attribute to malice, that which can easily be explained by stupidity.
