Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No.

It is not permitted, either on the road or in the surrounding area, such as the ditch or the field alongside it. A cigarette butt can ignite dry grass and cause a fire that endangers road users. Emptying the ashtray onto the ground, as shown in the image, is prohibited for the same reason.
