Chisinau, 2 June /MOLDPRES/-Drivers and passengers who throw trash through the windows of vehicles will be fined. Amendments to the Contravention Code to this effect were adopted by the parliament today.

The document sees that “throwing objects, substances, trash and cigarette butts through windows of vehicles by their drivers or passengers shall be sanctioned by a fine from 600 to 1,000 lei or unpaid community work from 40 to 60 hours.”

“Sanctions will be imposed to persons who were caught in the act or based on the witness declarations, who will present as evidence photographs or video captures from monitoring cameras,” the law reads.

Before approving the draft, Moldova’s Contravention Code prohibited throwing from the windows of vehicles only objects and substances.

The current law enters into force upon its adoption date.
