    Just read thru the whole thread. Sorry for bringing up the pet-in-the-truck thing back there; I'm a moron.


    Sounds good!

    Sounds better.

    Yeah, let us know how that works out for ya.

    I'll bet there's more stickers than there are compliant trucks :biggrin_2559:

    Its HOT, they arent enforcing this law! Common sense. and drive safe!
     
  4. I think the issue here in California comes down to where you are, meaning which county's Superior Court had jurisdiction. After reviewing the entire regulation for Commifornia, http://weblinks.westlaw.com/Find/De...vr=2.0&spa=CCR-1000&trailtype=26&Cnt=Document
    it appears that there is still a "Safety" exemption.

    I, for one, will be more than happy to idle if I am too hot or cold to sleep and explain it to a judge if someone decides to ticket me. My inability to sleep = safety issue.

    Ive been driving for 12 years now and the only bad experiences ive had have been in california. but on a positive note, out of 48 states those are pretty good odds.

    I wish that statement were accurate. I know of 4 drivers who got tickets for idling when it was 112.

    I guess I'd be headed off to prison if they'd have issued me an idle ticket for idling when it was 112... 'cause I'd have strangled that Nazi piece of %$&# with my bare hands.

    I'll help you! I would not have accepted the ticket. I don't know how these guys did it without wrapping their hands around someone's throat...
