He looks like the type of ***** that sits in McDonald's car park who eats their meal then chucks all the rubbish out into the car park when there is probably a bin within spitting distance.

I think someone needs to bang their heads together, whilst the moobed chav shouldn't have dumped the cup anyone taking the law into their own hands is equally stupid - it's an easy win for the old bill when he coughs to instigating a fight...

Is that just Daily Mail bulls**t - how can you be charged for assault by throwing a Pepsi cup through a car window?

I see so many people tossing litter from their vehicles. Good on the cyclist for bringing this low life to the attention of the public.

There was nothing stupid about this cyclist, many more of us should be questioning this anti social behaviour.

Damn right! I once saw this oik waiting at some lights in a flashy motor, sipping the last of his bottled water and tossing the empty bottle out of the window. Why do that? Just dispose of it in a bin when you get out of the car.

Yeah but if the retard in the car stuck a knife in him would a paper cup in the street in a city with street cleaners have been worth losing his life over.

For me he's as bad as the idiot that littered, chasing people down and creating a situation is plain stupid, if it bothers you that much pick it up and put it in the bin, that's what I do when I'm out in the countryside and see some non bio degradable rubbish.

I was brought up on 'Follow the Country Code' & 'Keep Britain Tidy' campaigns.
Sadly these kind of social responsibility information films seem to be a thing of the past which is a real shame.It is just in my DNA now not to litter & it takes no effort.

I saw a school kid step outside our local shop,unwrap his ice lolly & drop the wrapper on the floor & he was standing next to the bin!!!

BTW isn't littering an offence? Why not prosecute the driver.His finger prints would be on the cup......................not difficult.

Scrappy9

There is no proof corsa man threw the cup out of his car

Yes his fingerprints may be on the cup, but he would argue from when he removed the cup from his car

Saliva test? Doubt plod would bother for littering

RA Dunk

As much as I'm not into littering cyclists nowadays really do go out with a chip on their shoulder in the mornings, just a matter of time before someone gives a cyclist a slapping TBH.

Of course they do

I'm a cyclist and I want to give 90% of cyclist a slap ..

What a complete tw#t. As I have said before, if he has a family, he is a complete tool for putting himself in that position. It's a can for God sake. Does he think that he is saving the planet? His tone completely changed when the driver threatened to knock him out.

Of course the driver was in the wrong but does the cyclist really think that throwing the can back at him was going to change his behavoir.

The whole thing kind of sums up everything that is wrong with this stupid country.

One arrogant aggressive litter lout... check
One self righteous moralising bell end on a bike ... check
The most manipulative and outright divisive sensationalist rag of a very bad bunch ... The Daily Mail.... check
Talk of involving the police over a few heated words and a can on the road... an organisation that can barely deal with a serious crime.... check

What a sh1tty little country we have become!

I find myself agreeing with F1.

.....I must be going soft.

I must admit when out cycling the litter you see in the hedge rows is all fast food stuff. Pretty clear that there is a certain demograph of people who drop litter.

Yes.

Cyclists war on cars?



Grow up.

If I'm walking along a country road and I see litter, I pick it up, put it in my pocket and put it in the bin when I get home, pretty straight forward really. Put into that cyclists position, it would have annoyed me but I would have carried along my way. If I was directly behind that car going in the same direction, I would have picked it up and put it in my pocket.

I don't often agree with you, outside of SLK threads, but you nailed it with this one

£1000 per DNA test. But since the government got rid if the Forensic Science Service, it all become a lot more complex and more expensive.

BUT , what are people going to do about it. If no one speaks up then it just continues.

I was on a train a few years ago and a young fella with his family was throwing his sweet wrappers out of the window, there was a bin less than 6 ft from him. I shouted at him to stop littering, he was so shocked. He did stop littering and gave me a glare, but did nothing about it. I am 6ft and then 18 stone.

Grow some ***** and tell people what they are doing wrong.
