Throw a Butt Out The Window and It Will Cost You $1,025
The Washington State Patrol is cracking down on irresponsible smokers who nonchalantly toss their cigarette butts out the window...the fine is STEEP $1,025

After several fires that have sparked on Highway 240 alone WSP is hoping the new spendy fine will discourage people from throwing burning cigs out onto the roadways. Also if your cig starts a fire and your caught you'll also have to pay for the resources used to extinguish the said fire!
