Somebody really, REALLY likes that TV show with Hugh Laurie? I'm sorry, but it was just screaming for a punch line.[8D]

Anyway, here's what I found:

Engrossed in the House (or Senate):
An engrossed bill is the official copy of a bill or joint resolution that has been passed by one chamber, including the text as changed by any amendments that have been agreed to on the floor, and certified by the Clerk of the House or the Secretary of the Senate. The House's engrossed documents are printed on blue paper; the Senate's on white paper.

I don't know if the "by" makes a difference, but you get the idea.

colossus911,

If "the one ..." was a new-plated hybrid and the driver had 2 slugs on board with him, he would have been legal on the HOVs.

Assume you meant "the one in the HOV lanes on Friday" was a new-plated hybrid with just one cheating SOB driver in it.
Just another of the many examples of the "I'm just so damned important that rules or laws don't apply to me" attitudes that permeate some residents of NoVa.

Pfftttt...they never do when you need them. I was beginning to merge off of the HOVs one evening and I was behind a vanpool when this single occupant in a luxury vehicle (not a hybrid) zooms around both of us, driving over the striped lines (lane had ended). The guy in the vanpool points the dude out to the state troopers who were sitting at the end of the HOV lanes and the state trooper just shrugged.

WTF?

The new "CF" plates have the "clean special fuel" emblem on the right side instead of the left position of the ones allowed on 95/395 HOV. You just haven't seen any since it seems that very few people are buying qualifying vehicles along the 95 corridor now that they have no incentive. FYI, the non personalized ones have a ####CY format. I've seen one or two of them in the six months they have been issued....

bnvus,

Check previous posts on this message board. And also check out this Virginia DMV website: http://www.dmv.virginia.gov/webdoc/citizen/vehicles/cleanspecialfuel.asp

Unless something happened very recently, the situation is that Va started issuing a new CF plate on 1 July 06. Those are not allowed to use the I-95/395 HOV lanes unless the car has 3 people onboard. They are configured differently from the older (pre-1 July 06) plates. The website states hybrids can drive SOV on Viginia's HOV-2 lanes (like I-66 and others) with those plates -- just not on I-95/395.

Those older plates were grandfathered and the cars with them can use the HOV lanes with a single occupant in the car.

If the above is no longer current or correct, someone please let us know.

Have a great weekend -- and keep warm!
