Thanks for the info.
Would you mind posting the CORRECT phone number to report a-holes throwing smokes out their windows on the highway. It's really a pain and takes a long time going the way I did. I'll add it to my cell and pull over and call right away.
Thanks

can you believe that people still do that nasty crap. Even when I was a smoker I didn't do that... IDIOTS!!!

I have a neighbor next to us that is INSISTENT on tossing his cig. butts off his deck. The stupidity amazes me...
