Land Line Magazine, the truckers' journal, is nervously following a proposal in the Utah Legislature to boost fines for highway littering. The law would target "trucker bombs" — bottles of urine tossed by drivers too pressed for time to make a pit stop.

The measure, sponsored by Sen. Pat Jones, would increase fines, from $100 to $250, Land Line says, for repeat offenders of the state’s littering law "for such things as tossing containers of human waste along highways."

Judges also could order up to eight hours of community service.

UDOT spokesman Nile Easton told KSL-TV maintenance crews pick up over 20,000 urine bottles a year from the state's roads (...quick calculation.... enough wee-wee to fill up a couple backyard swimming pools.)

The Senate has approved the bill and the House Transportation Committee voted 10-2 to advance the bill – SB44 – to the chamber floor. Washington state has already taken on the trucker bomb issue, including distributing whimsical posters, right.
