Comment | Hi, You ideas are not realistic, I beg any law maker to try these regulations in real life, how about Indio or Barstow,etc., in August. After driving for 11 hours and then a drive must sleep, and there is no method for cooling short of running the trucks engine what kind of sleep will the drive have? Will he be safe on the highway after no rest? If CARB wants to help clear the air, how about the Rail Road diesel engines, do they run on low sulfur diesel? How is their idle time regulated? Have a look at the exhaust spewing black smoke as they cross the high desert. Do they have electronic engine controls yet? How about stricter speed enforcement on California highways for all vehicles and tougher emission standards for light truck and SUV's. People who use California highways don't come close to driving the speed limit, just think how much fuel that would save by driving the Posted Speed limit, not 20MPH over the limit. I am a CDL holder so I know what I am writing about. Thank You, G. Zippert |
