Is it permitted for the passenger to throw an empty cigarette pack out of the vehicle window while moving?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

No, it is strictly forbidden. The General Traffic Regulations state that it is prohibited to throw onto the road or its vicinity any object that could hinder free traffic flow, cause accidents, or litter the road. Even if it is an empty pack (which does not cause fires like a cigarette butt), it remains waste that can distract other drivers (especially motorcyclists and cyclists) and harms the environment. This infraction carries a financial penalty of 500 euros and the loss of 6 license points.
