WHEN YOU’RE STRESSING about getting somewhere on time, it’s easy for good habits that you would usually have to fall by the wayside.

So, here’s your chance to be honest about your habits when on the move – is your car often filled with coffee cups? Ever leave rubbish behind you on the bus? What about your snacking habits – ever drop wrappers on the ground at the bus stop or the petrol station?

While a lot of us may use chewing gum while commuting, not all of us are great about making sure it ends up in the bin. And most may not realise that dropping it carries a €150 fine.

Clocking up miles is also notoriously tiring, whether you’re driving or the bus driver is – sometimes little pick-me-ups like coffee and chewing gum are often needed for a small break. So tell us, what are your habits around staying refreshed on the road? 

If you spend a lot of your day cooped up in a car or cramped on the bus, the last thing you need is to put yourself at risk by using your phone while crossing the road or when pulled up at traffic lights. Be honest, how guilty are you of these bad habits?

No matter how busy you are at work, you should always make time to bin your gum when you’re done. Did you know that by incorrectly disposing of gum, you’re not only littering, but breaking the law? So do the decent thing – bin your gum, and avoid a €150 fine. For more information, visit gumlittertaskforce.ie.
