HOV Violation -

Posted by ShredderFeeder on April 22, 2007 in Hybrids, Traffic |

So after a year of driving my Hybrid car in the HOV lane in the I-95 corridor, I finally get a ticket because the IDIOTS in the Virginia State Legislature can’t get their heads out of each other’s asses long enough to realize that discouraging people from bying hybrid and low-consumption vehicles is political suicide in this day and age.

I mean, during a time when a percentage of every dollar spent on gas goes right into the hands of the very people we’re in Iraq ostensibly trying to fight a war with, does it make sense to go out in public and tell people, “no, we really think you should be discouraged from doing anything that not only helps the environment, but helps the US reduce it’s dependance on foreign oil, something that even the cult-leader-in-chief says is one of his goals.

So which is it?

I’m planning a pretty spectacular argument for court.  I think I’ll eventually announce the date and time just to see if I can get any followers there. :)

(Most probably I’ll be disappointed and find only a fat-middle aged accountant there, but it is a nice thought)

    Didn’t you buy a hybrid for other reasons besides HOV usage? HOV was just to get the market bootstrapped. You’re still helping the trade deficit, foreign vehicle buyer, and still using Oil. Sorry they damaged the sense of smug self-satisfaction your car runs on, it will be hard to get to work. Scofflaw!

Loe and I were grumbling about the whole lack of real and significant political support for cleaning up the environment and tacking the damage done via automobiles, yesterday. Then I read this. Oy… [...]
