Comment | Even though proper tire pressure helps reduce fuel consumption, using a big government approach to force everybody to check tire pressure is a bad idea. Fining people $1000 and threatening them with 6 months jail is not a way to turn people towards saving energy. Forcing people or repair shops to check tire pressure or to carry prove that they have checked tire pressure is such an orwellian concept, expressing Governments wish to deeply intrude into every minute facet of peoples daily life. People will end up paying monthly for something that everybody used to do for free for themselves. I have hardly ever had a shop, especially oil change shops, inflate my tires to the proper pressure. I always end up having to readjust pressure back to the proper levels after I have been to a shop. I therefore regularly decline offers when shops want to check my tire pressure. You are now proposing to make my refusal a criminal offense. Why would you draft such a monstrosity of a rule, when you could have just proposed to voluntarily ask all oil change, tire, and repair shops to please offer a free tire pressure check as a courtesy to their customers. Most shops are already doing that anyways. Why do you have to add fines and threaten shops and consumers? Do you want to intentionally alienate the people against helping you to solve environmental problems. Sincerely, Hart Fischer Sierra Madre, CA |
