Action on street junk thrown through car window
A law could be tightened up to punish people who throw trash out the window of a vehicle in Wales.
This would mean that the registered owner of a vehicle could be fined, discarded, or even transported in the car at that time.
Municipalities are responsible for cleaning up most of the roads and the Welsh government wants to give them additional powers to punish the owner of the vehicle in question.
It is a criminal offense to contaminate a vehicle and people can be prosecuted and fined up to £ 2,500 if caught.
Most boards issue clauses if they believe someone has thrown garbage and ask the DVLA for details about drivers.
However, you have problems if the owner does not pay or notify the authority that dumped the garbage.
