Littering from Vehicles (Offences) Bill
[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to
This bill creates or strengthens legal offences specifically for littering from vehicles, such as dropping litter from cars, lorries, or motorcycles while driving or parked. It aims to tackle roadside pollution by making it illegal to discard waste from vehicles and establishing penalties for those who do. The bill likely introduces fixed penalty notices (fines) as a quick enforcement tool, and may increase maximum penalties compared to existing general littering laws. The focus is on deterring irresponsible disposal of items like cigarette butts, fast food packaging, and other waste from moving or stationary vehicles.
