Two Worlds Apart

Besides ruining thousands of fine cars, it was a financial disaster.

I have some easy and common sense ideas to conserve fuel that would work with some minor changes to draconian traffic eco-laws in California.

One would require that all metering lights at freeway onramps default to a green light when nobody is waiting.

The other would exempt service vehicles from car pool lane restrictions.
 
Cash for Clunkers seems to be, based on the responses posted here so far, one of those government programs that wingnuts hate, but don't know why.

And or we could get rid of all the 10 million illegals in Ca who clog up the roads with their old junker polluters.

What are "service vehicles"?

It's a vehicle that is also the driver's office. It can be anything from a construction truck or van to a delivery vehicle.
It is used to perform a service.
Many people work alone, and drive service vehicles.
The "two or more" requirement should not apply to them.

I see. Your solution is to give you special treatment.
 
Ricky Fandango said:
It makes perfect sense.
Service people have no choice but to take their office with them.
Why should they not be exempt?

It's not "special treatment", its common sense.

Most people have no choice but to drive the freeways to go to work 5 or more days a week. Does your "common sense" extend to those people also?

I would get rid of car pool lanes and metering lights all together if it were up to me.
You can buy passes to get around car pool lanes, which only punishes the working poor like high gas prices do.

My point was that a service vehicle has to be on the road to survive.

The whole point of car pool lanes is to get your "office people" to carpool to and from the office.
A service vehicle is "the office".

Just like I said - you want special treatment so you will no longer have to bow to the socialists' whips and chains. Am I right?

This is the point where I turn and walk away from the hysterical wingnut with white stuff around the corners of his mouth.
Bye.
