I don't know who was more shocked: me, the trash thrower, the surrounding motorists, or my kids. I knew I needed to get out of Jordan for a while after that. Seriously, there are already some schools with planned 'clean-up' days going on. There is no greater way to teach kids to keep kids from pitching trash than making them pick up someone else's. There is no greater way to teach adults than making it cost 'em. I'm glad there is a fine, but raising it without enforcing it is no good. Like the rest of the traffic laws.
