This is the shocking moment a white van man hurled a ball of rubbish into the back of a flatbed lorry as the pair paused at traffic lights.
Footage captured the sharpshooting driver as he pulled in behind the lorry and threw the ball of litter into the vehicle before driving off.
Oblivious to the accurate shot, the driver continued down Ardleigh Green Road in Hornchurch, Essex when the lights turned green.

Peter Barrett, 46, captured the shameless act on his dashcam as he made his way to the shops last Thursday.
Mr Barrett said: ‘I spotted it immediately as he was right next to me, and it was quite clear what he had done.
‘This isn’t the correct way to get rid of your rubbish.
‘I thought it was a good shot, and it was a bit of a giggle, but straight away thought “that was a little bit naughty”.’
The retired civil servant has captured many instances of littering in the six years he’s owned a dashcam – mostly cigarettes thrown out of windows – but never littering into another vehicle.

Mr Barrett, who builds rockets in his spare time, said: ‘I’ve seen littering a few times, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen someone littering into another truck. I don’t know if there’s much you can do to stop this.
‘People are a bit too casual when it comes to littering. It seems people can’t be bothered to find a bin, but hopefully we can change this attitude.
‘If I had to throw something away while driving, I’d wait until I got home and throw it in the bin.
‘To people who want to litter or throw their litter into another car, I’d just say to them “don’t do it”.’
