items you can throw out a car window legally?

I heard there are 2 or 3 things that can legally come out of a moving vehicle without getting a ticket for littering. I think its chicken feathers and what else?

Update:

chicken feathers and water sounds right. thought someone would be able to find a link to a webpage to back it up

    You cant through sunflower seed out the window, I was reading an article on a guy that got a littering ticket for that. The only thing you can throw from your car legally is water and chicken feathers.

    The reason for chicken feathers is so the big chicken transport trucks dont get tickets.

    i'd recommend getting a used vehicle because of the fact it is going to steer away from particularly some funds and a few used vehicles contain a guaranty. perhaps a Chevrolet Cobalt? each and every little thing is American Made and that's amazingly good. leather-based indoors is an decision besides as Curtain AirBags which would be extensive-unfold. in case you have no longer have been given lots believe in American vehicles (you particularly shouldn't), i'd recommend a Toyota Corolla. The Corolla isn't lots relaxing, even although that's predictable and has stellar reliability. The Civic fee lots used or new because of this is resale fee that's on the astonishing of the heap. in case you certainly need to purchase new, take a seem on the Saturn Astra. that's based off of the ecu, Opel Astra that's amazingly good. It seems cool, and Saturn has the wonderful line of sellers interior the international. good success

    Throwing anything out a car window creates litter. So legally, there is nothing you can throw out. A lot of people haven't yet twigged to that, as you can easily confirm by looking at the trash that lines the sides of the roads.

    Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero.

    Chicken feathers (or other animal droppings) can only come off of the cargo area of a farm truck which is transporting them.

    Cigarettes, ashes, apples or anything else is specifically listed in the littering laws.

    As of 2013, the only items that can be thrown out of a vehicle are water and chicken feathers. Anything else attracts animals, causing roadkill.

    i can't stand to see anything thrown out. esepcialy cigarettes. If you don't like keeping the butts in your ashtray, then QUIT SMOKING. Here's a clue: your car already smells like an ashtray!!! LOL

    Anyway, I remember a lady getting a ticket for putting a cracker or something on the ground in a store parking lot, even though there were birds there eating things like that.

    okay, NO you can not throw cigarettes out the car legally. I have never heard of anything that you can throw and not get fined for if you get caught. Check your local laws, it will say so there.

    You're not "allowed" to throw out anything, biodegradable or not. However, cigarettes generally don't get you pulled over...
