Leicestershire pensioner fined £225 by council for flicking snot out of van window

Ashby Hub News wins our Headline of the Day Award for its tale of crime in Coalville.

The judges were, however, concerned by the story below it. The first sentence states that the pensioner was fined for "snotting out his van window".

If one accepts that "to snot" is a verb, then

snotting out a window 

and 

snotting out of a window

are surely two different things, the former being far more newsworthy than the latter.
