Everyone knows that no conservatives anywhere voted for or even supported anti idling laws that had provisions for animals. :roll:

i wonder if we can turn off our reefers to prevent idling?

they pollute more than the truck

i heard that idling below 40 and above 80 is acceptable, i dont know

i would rather have a gerbil or hamster than a parakeet

UPDATE

Just got back from court Ticket was 56.00 bucks for idling. 25.00 for court cost so a total of 81.00 bucks. I was happy to hear that. The judge was a cool guy so that helped alot.

though it worked out for you

it still aint right

an idling law with no viable alternative is an oppressive law

if you didnt work to address this ticket, it cost you more than $81

and what about the next driver who has to cough up hundreds?

I disagree. Refuse to drive into any states that have idling law. Now will drivers take such action? I doubt it. Drivers have complained about many things but when it comes time to take a stand the cow down.
