One for litter-lout motorists.
"New regulations have been drawn up to make sure people who throw
litter out of car windows are fined.
Local authorities in England and Wales often find it difficult to
prove that a particular individual was to blame.
The Local Government Association wants a new system where the vehicle
owner would face a penalty of up to £80 if the culprit cannot be
identified.
A pilot scheme in London from June could be extended across the
country by environment minister Joan Ruddock.
'Horrified and angry'
Paul Bettison, chairman of the LGA's environmental board, said: "What
we would like is, if evidence was found that litter was thrown from
the car then the owner of the car would receive a penalty charge
notice.
"Then it's up to the owner of the car, if he says 'actually, I wasn't
driving the car somebody else was', he has to give that person's name.
"In which case, they're responsible. Failing which, the owner would
have to pay the fine."

It's a shame we can't do the same to people who strew rubbish all over
usenet such as mouse-murdering hypocrite Doug Bollen.

Off topic: not transport related
It's just that the enforcers are lazy bastards, and this allows easy
identification of (possibly) a litter lout via the car reg. If only they
could get off their fat arses and go out on the streets to fine the
pedestrian litter louts, too.

What's the betting there are no "new regulations" rather a shift in the
method of enforcing the existing ones.
