I always see thrown butts as just one more example of the contempt people seem to hold anything that they do not own in. I mow the roadside of our property for both appearance and fire safety (About 700M of frontage next to a Vicroads managed road, they used to mow reserves fence to fence but now only do a couple of meters each side of the carriageway, so towns like where I live have a frightening stock of six foot high, thick, tinder dry grass leading into them) The volume of bottles and cans and various fast food wrappers and other detritus thrown from cars disgusts me every time I mow out there.
Self extinguishing would have to be one good change then. The number of lit butts I see thrown from cars is enough to make my blood boil though I would not want to trust to it with how dry the roadsides get.
