With cigarette ends, food and food wrappers topping the list of discarded items.
Are you a litterbug driver?
Around 9 million drivers admit having thrown litter from their cars in the last year, according to new research from Green Flag breakdown service.

An astonishing 11 million pieces of fruit, 4.5 million sweet wrappers and 2.9 million items of fast food such as burgers, pizza slices and fried chicken have been jettisoned through car windows by drivers in the last year.

This is according to new research from Green Flag breakdown service which polled 2,000 motorists in May.

The top five items thrown from cars are:

Cigarette ends (29 million)
Food (17.4 million items including fast food)
Food wrappers (11.8 million)
Drinks bottles and cans (6.2 million)
Tissues (5.2 million)

There is a list of reasons as to why people do it.
