The driver was fined 鈧�68 for the misdemeanour, which was filmed by a CCTV camera in Laigneville, Oise (Hauts-de-France).

Local police arrived at the scene to administer the fine - but the driver has 鈧�368 in total, as 鈧�300 was later billed to him for the litter clean-up.

This was a deliberate move from the local council in Laigneville, which has decided to make offenders pay should any technical or clean-up services be required as a result of their actions.

Christophe Dietrich, mayor of Laigneville - a town of more than 4,400 inhabitants - has defended the high cost of these services.

Speaking , he said: 鈥淔or four years, with my municipal team, we have been fighting against all public littering of any kind.鈥�

Mr Dietrich condemned the van driver鈥檚 actions as 鈥渢otal carelessness鈥�, and said: 鈥淯nfortunately, we can see that today, among a small amount of people, it is only when you hit them in their wallet that it starts to have an impact.

"We will not be minions to these people.鈥�
