I agree with this statement. There are already two bills proposed for the Virginia 2005 legislative session that will eliminate the sunset of July 2006(HB 99 and HB 1106). I bet the reps. that wrote these bills own hybrids. I suggest everyone write their reps and tell them to move the date up, not eliminate it! All it takes is a couple of minutes to email them and you will more than make up the time commuting once the hybrids are out.
Bills:

Here's a question...possibly even an unscientific poll:

Which annoys you more? Cheaters or hybrids with only the driver in it.



I can be annoyed by both-If someone is driving like an idiot holding everyone else up or creating a dangerous situation, I find them annoying.

Live Long and Prosper

Hmmm. Let me see.... I think I'd like this deck chair over here, and that one over there.... And... Oh! What was that bump, Mr. Captain of the Titanic?

(Folks, the hybrid extension ends in 2006. Meanwhile, the Fluor Corporation's destruction of the HOV lanes is due to start in 2006.)

If they are hybrid they'll need the special plate. I've seen a lot of hybrid w/o plates.

I saw a Hybrid SUV single on the HOV this morning without a Clean Fuel plate. Is that legal? And isn't a SUV-Hybrid sorta oxymoronic?

Forget Horner Rd, use Potomac Mills!

You guys are funny. I think you should just keep beating the bybrid debate to death. If your so against the hybrids, than do something about it. Stand at the entrance to each HOV and scream and yell at the hybrid drivers, and maybe you'll change their minds, or get your rear end kicked. Geese, 20 more months of them, and the hybrids will be parking and riding, or picking up slugs. Geese. MOVE ON!

Well said Sponge!

At least Hybrids don't pollute as much. Near the bottom of the barrel are the "left-lane slow drivers" who create rolling roadblocks. Busses that drive all the way up and then cut into traffic lanes close to the Pentagon exit are down there too. But HOV cheaters are low-life scum! Rent-a-cop cars with the little blue dashboard lights are just cheaters with badges (when there's no emergency). Life, death or national security emergencies aside, there's no excuse for singles in the HOVs.
