CA anti idle law

This is an old wives tale.

 

In California, you are exempt from the anti-idling law if you have the sticker. In Sacramento, you may not operate a reefer unit within 100' of a residential area or school unless you are loading / unloading.

You may also idle to 'prevent a health or safety emergency'. In Sacramento, you may idle for hours of service compliance at a truck/rest stop.

I shut it down for the night, but idled when I got up to make a pot of coffee.
$300 ticket for idling 8 minutes. Yep, the CARB prick timed me and wrote the start and stop times on the ticket.
It does happen, and it happened to me!
First time I have got one, it was at the Pilot in Hesperia.

It is Cali... Maybe the state will fall into the ocean soon...

 

i cant wait for a cop to try and give me a ticket for idleing, im REALLY good with arts and crafts i'll show the officer how to make Confettii! Anti-Idle laws are a bunch of BS, and any officer that enforces them is a prick.

it'll need a push....perhaps they should do the next "biggest loser" out there . Perhaps let Japan do their nucular testing out there?

Works for me! I despise going out there. They seem to think the country should do everything they do. We dont play that game down here in Bama

 

the ta in ontario was one of the 1st places in ca they started giving out the anti-idle tickets..... the 2nd day they did it they had chp standing guard behind the smog police....
