I know quite a few people with remote starts that will let their car idle so long it shuts off and then they remote start again. Just what we need, cops to sit for three minutes while they watch your vehicle idle.

Another genius law from our idiot lawmakers.

Big deal, so don't let your car idle for rediculously long. This law is not going to hurt me.

This law did nothing but waste taxpayer dollars by enacting it. Its going to be nearly impossible to enforce (unless cops sit and idle for 3+ minutes while watching a car thereby creating more problems that its solving) and nobody is going to care about abiding by it. They should try finding solutions to problems that will actually work and make a difference. How about getting all truckstops setup with the proper equipment so the truckers don't have to leave their engines idling for hours/overnight?

Make sure you guys check your Greddy turbo timers, i know mine defualted to time based on some wierd factor which after like a 15 minute drive it was up to some shit like 7-9 minutes. I have mine now set at 30 seconds.

So what are the cops going to do when they are downtown off 1st ave in the winter, and normally have there car idle for hours on end? O ya they don't care because they pay $2.xx a gallon.

what about those long stop lights when an emergency vehicle rolls thru?

According to the article, the law doesn't apply when you're in traffic.

The Chris Baker radio show had a car idling on 1st ave for over 2 hours this morning. I had to stop listening when i got to work, anyone know if they ended up getting a ticket? They were going to call up the mayors office to try and buy some carbon credits for it too

Another retarded attempt to solve a problem that doesn't exist. I love Chris Baker BTW.
