Passenger Side Window Opened, Cup Noodle Soup 'Whoosh'... "Why Don't Parents Stop This?"

Leftover cup ramen discarded on the road while vehicle stopped
"Like parent, like child"... Fines may be imposed upon reporting

Suddenly, a hand sticks out from the passenger seat of a vehicle driving on the road. Soon after, food waste falls onto the road. The food waste turns out to be none other than cup ramen. The person sitting in the passenger seat of the car opened the window while stopped and poured out the cup ramen broth. This somewhat absurd behavior was fully captured on the dashcam of the car behind and has been criticized.

On the 12th, a post titled "How did they raise their child?" was uploaded to an online community. The author, Mr. A, claimed that the car in front poured out leftover cup ramen broth while stopped and shared the dashcam footage.

In the video shared by Mr. A, a person sitting in the front passenger seat suddenly extends their arm out the window and pours leftover cup ramen broth onto the road. A dump truck driving in the adjacent lane appeared startled upon seeing the broth being poured and braked abruptly, narrowly avoiding what could have been a serious accident.

Mr. A said, "Since we were going the same way, I kept following the car, and near a high school, the child who poured out the ramen broth got out and went to school," advising, "Parents should properly educate their children." He also claimed, "The driver of the front car changed lanes multiple times and did not use turn signals at all while making left and right turns."

Netizens who saw the story responded with comments such as, "If the parents don’t stop them, the child is probably just like them," "There are so many people acting beyond common sense," "Ignorance is boldness," and "The importance of family education."

Meanwhile, Article 68 of the Road Traffic Act prohibits throwing or shooting stones, glass bottles, metal fragments, or other objects that may damage people or vehicles on the road, as well as throwing objects out of vehicles traveling on the road. Violating this regulation results in a fine of 50,000 KRW and 10 penalty points. If dashcam footage is available, reports can be made through the Police Agency’s civil complaint office or the Government 24 app. If a vehicle is damaged by the discarded waste, claims for compensation for vehicle repair costs can be filed.
