- Everyone wants to save the planet, but what if you could make an easy buck while doing it? Desi Lydic joins the “Idle Warriors,” a group focused on reporting idle vehicles for a cash reward. Desi searches high and low in New York City to save the environment, and maybe even pay off some credit card bills. #DailyShow #DesiLydic #NYC

The 'It takes about 2 years' to get paid comment at the end was so unexpectedly funny 🤣
And it was Desi's spit-take that cracked me up!
I'm cracking up here fam 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why did you spoil the video mfer ffs
When she asked I knew it would be a long time but I didn't know it would be that long. Likely this lets the ticket go through the court system and any appeals or delays.. the agreement probably states that the activists are paid when the ticket is paid.
Waiting for 100k isnt that bad
For a bit in my early twenties I was dock supervisor at a newspaper (remember newspapers?). I was singly in charge of the loading dock (from which newspapers left the presses to be further dispersed within the city.) Trucks would often pull up in front of the dock doors, blocking the only source of ventilation, with engines running and just sit there for great lengths of time gassing everyone around. I sometimes instructed the drivers to turn off their engines and was invariably brushed aside or laughed away. “Who are you, kid? Go away.” “I’m the dock supervisor. I’m in charge of the dock and all that goes on in it.” It would have been delicious if Rockford had had an ordinance banning truck idly and cellphones had been invented.
Uh you're joking right? You really let them blast you with gas? How hard is it to inform them "We don't unload vehicles that are still running" You don't need the government to swoop in and save you. Just be a man. $50 says you're a Californian.
Yeah, like what he said, “it’s our policy that all trucks must be shut off before unloading.” I bet this dude is literally kicking himself right now 😂
That's the thing. Companies now are forcing drivers to lease their own trucks so the drivers are the owners of the trucks not the companies. So the companies skirt the fine.
@@Keegs- bro's brain broke
Amazon is doing that now and even charging $30K+ for the truck owners to join as an affiliate. That way, nothing the drivers do affects Amazon. They are terrible.
So private folks will be more careful.... not wasting gas and wear and tear. Less altruistic but effective.
@@janefreeman995it's just more movement to turning each employee into an independent contractor working for the companies. It's really rather dystopian.
Well then those drivers should be thanking them for saving them fuel cost.
It’s always driven me crazy seeing anyone leave a vehicle idling for no reason whatsoever. I once had a tv repair man leave his van running in my driveway for an hour while he fixed my TV, just because.
you didnt say anything? i woulda told him to shut it off or leave
TV repair man? Are you going back to the 1960s?
I can understand a delivery driver since they have a time limit and are usually right in front of the spot they need to be in ( quick unloading and drop off), but being inside fixing a tv. Were they not worried about their vehicle being stolen lol.
I live in a ground-floor flat (yes, in London, that's why I say "flat"). Some of my windows open over the end of a close in the middle of a big housing estate. The summer I was sweating over my MA dissertation, some dude who'd moved back in with his grandmother on the close would spend HOURS sitting in his idling car parked right UNDER my window, often on the phone and sometimes doing balloons and giggling inanely. So even without the idling engine, it would have been an immense irritation, but the engine was IDLING.
The following summer it was lockdown, and everything that was happening on the close got about 100% worse.
To be fair, if you live in a country where someone could shoot you, you don't really have time to start the engine.
I appreciate that it's 3minute+ long, and not just a snapshot.
So you just don't get some random picture of a guy who just parked for a delivery.
this is true. I'm afraid I would get murdered if I did this in LA.
He too should turn his engine off.
@@quineloe oh yes obviously. But it gives a bit more legitimacy to this.. program?
@@jawstrock2215 "this.... program" is called the law.
It's still a bad law because it goes after low hanging fruit (companies). Millions more cars idle everyday in traffic congestion & drive-thrus. No one is fining those even though they contribute to pollution (maybe even more than delivery vehicles because there are more commuter cars than delivery vehicles)
She is naturally funny.
We don't know how many takes it took her tho 😸
@@arj-peace Wow we have complete opposite perspectives. First the positive, she's been a loyal and supporting member of TDS for many years and seems like a genuine caring person to all her co-workers and brings a lot of family feeling to the cast. Now the bitter pill: She is a mediocre comedy talent and has to lean so heavily on this very corporate friendly populist feminism memes which makes the lack of talent and substance so evident. This segment another demonstration, and I admit this was a comedy desert so I give her some slack. But to make an isn't Jake Gylenhaal hot joke (which bombed deservedly) which, and I dont want to be one of those whiny people that does this all the time, if the genders where reversed it would just be a creepy remark. I dont really care about that except that it shows how phony her corporate brand of feminism really is.
On top of that to pick Jake Gylenhaal as your hotman reference?! Either you have not done your homework and didn't read Dominica Feraud's The Moviestar and Me or was aware of it, or she did and she is actually being an accomplice to predatory behaviour so she or the show keeps access and does a favour to Jake Gyllenhaal's agent and publisher. Both options are pretty sad.
The best of the rotating desk was without any shadow of a doubt Roy Wood Jr. and its a crime that they didnt come begging on their knees if he would please take over the show. I love Jon's return and it has been a great boom to the show, but them chasing Roy away has greatly reduced their worth. Can't say the same about if Desi were decide to leave.
@@joeblow5505you are a clueless bore!!!

@@arj-peace I do like Ronnie Chang's angry rants though. lol
These comments are all about Desi but let's talk about George man, he was a natural in that interview.
Agree. He was uncommonly comfortable playing along with Desi's game.
He reminded me of James Cameron. Now we know how he's been financing all those Avatar sequels!
Its not unreasonable to want to breath clean air!
How dare you want such a thing!
I know I'm spoiled 😂 Especially since I only have the "free with ads" subscription to breathing.
Covid lock downs were some of our cleanest air times in merica.
See? 7 billion humans actually DO have an impact on the planet they all exist on.
Imagine that 🙄
Have you ever been a driver? In Midwest winters? In Florida summers? Is it too much to ask to not freeze, or pass out from heat exhaustion, while eating your lunch? Also carbon emissions go down when a one year old is in the back seat in 98 degree weather when you’re sitting in a drive thru, and you’re running the A/C. Why stop at actual professional drivers that you rely on to transport your Amazon package? Why not just outlaw heating and cooling in cars? Does that seem unreasonable? So does your argument against idling to anyone that has ever done any real work in their lives.
@@mattdobson7598 Companies shouldn't require their drivers to eat in cars. Next question.
I worked at a Starbucks in a grocery store. People would park in the fire lane and sometime leave their car running. I would refuse them service until they actually went and parked their car.
Desi Lydic is so amazing
ALL CAPS AMEN!!
She has really grown on me. The woman is hilarious.
She is amazing
“Any Nark-Yorker” 🤣🤣🤣
Another thing we should really reconsider is drive throughs. So much unnecessary pollution when people could literally just go wait inside an already air conditioned, often empty restaurant.
It might depend though, like has this been studied? I've heard it depends on how much time you idle for, since starting up the engine, at least I was told it used to, use more gas than idling for a few minutes. If I'm wrong, I totally agree with you. I don't need to be right, I care more about what's best for the environment.
@@beebuzz959For most modern vehicles, all it takes is 30 seconds of idling to be worth turning the engine off.
huge respect to james cameron at the end there! always doing his bit for the enviroment!
I love the old white guy laughing at Desi's joke about white people and drug consequences. Usually the interviewees are so serious during these interviews. Fantastically funny Desi! Your spit take at the end had me in tears. Keep it up.
You know he likes to party
We have a bill in committee for applying this to illegally parked cars.
Great, you're a lawmaker! Include the combustion vehicles parked illegally in front of electric charging spots.. they call it 'ICEing'. Imagine if someone just put a boat in front of your gas station spot.. now, what kind of learning curve will it take the US to electrify? There is a city in China where 40% of the cars are already Electric, and Norway is banning the sale of combustion vehicles in 2025 - Sweden is doing the same, and more countries need to follow. China's EV production is making this possible. By the way, we've known the need to electrify for more than 35 years. This shows the power of oil company corruption. I liken this to WW-C World war climate change. We're all in it whether you like it or not, light 2020 with the virus. California is banning combustion vehicles in 2035.. how do you win a war by responding 10 years later? That's the best the US has? If we are to lead the world, we need to take it seriously. Let's find lawmakers and emergency responders to all get EVs.. start from the top. There are efforts to electrify all school buses and metros as well. Everything will get easier from there.
@@PhilipX2030 Seeing so many of your comments is making want to go do that. Electric car sales are down in the us and they are losing their value faster the ice vehicles.
Apply it to every kind of traffic offense. Why pay for red light cameras when you can just outsource it to citizens?
People: Gas is too expensive!
Also People: It takes too long to turn off my car.
I love Lydic's calculation!
Desi nails it again! Comedy gold.
They should call themselves Idle Threat.
Ooooh!!
Nice
cool
@@Hobodeluxe007 wow you dont get it
@@Hobodeluxe007You couldn't just let LivingLava have that? I thought it was clever.
They should introduce this everywhere. It's not a big ask to turn off your engine.
It can be, if you’re car homeless in harsh cold or heat
I'd like to see a study done. because every time you turn off an engine the electric fuel pump cycles through a prime cycle that pushes more fuel into the system for starting. so it could be that if it's only going to be idling for say 3 or 4 min it might be close to the amount pushed into it during the first few seconds of ignition to run so rich that it produces near the same pollutant as the idling for a short time could cause.
@@Hobodeluxe007 They did the study before they decided on the 3 minutes and 10 seconds.
@@jarlsparkley That is compounding one problem with another.
Many states have idling laws but many states don’t. Also the states that do have certain times. Like New York is 3 minutes but South Carolina is 10 minutes.
Desi always delivers!
very reasonable, however there should be a stipulation for some exceptions when the weather is very cold or very hot to also protect workers who are working outdoors
That but also make it to where companies can’t illegally retaliate when they’re notified about a truck or car receiving a fine… in other words make it to where a random worker doesn’t get fired and lose their livelihood because Amazon has to pay a 200$ dollar fine. Because that absolutely WOULD do that if they could.
@@Black_Caucus Amazon wouldn't pay anything, as they use contractors for deliveries.
It is never very cold in NYC
As you say, this law it not reasonable at all.
Never?
I'm all for that to prevent you know that extra pollution but we all know what companies do to employees that cause them expenses. There's no way it doesn't come back on the driver
THIS....if you wanna pay my unemployment by all means carry on.
most trucking companies likely never penalize drivers over idling tickets because most likely instruct drivers to never shut the truck off
The people leaving the vehicle running for no reason are the problem, not the company. If they do it while driving for Amazon, who is to say they won't do it with their own cars. If someone is in danger of losing their job for idling the company car, then great - it will teach them better habits.
@@HandleNameIsStupid Boy do I hope you get fired and find out that's not how unemployment works.

OK since you say it drives you crazy I want you to get a job as a motorcoach driver and have one of those days where you have a group that’s in New York City and they’re away from the bus for four hours and I want you to do it on a day when it’s 30° so you can see how cold your bus gets and you have to sit in that cold all day then I want you to do it on a day when it’s 85° and you have to sit on that bus for four hours and maybe then you’ll understand
The end was just amazing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
America is the only place I’ve been that people will leave their vehicle running while they go inside 7eleven or the grocery store. Bizarre.
Happens in Japan all the time too.
I guess that tiny flick of the wrist to turn the ignition on and off is too much exercise for Americans.
From a small place so have never really noticed that. I do see cars being idle when one person is waiting in the car ( guilty of that myself at times) just so they have the AC on while waiting for the other person, but never unattended. That is just asking for trouble ( either accidentally locking yourself out with a running engine or someone stealing your vehicle).
Happens here in the UK too. :/
The majority of the wear and tare on your engine occurs when you start it. Is idling bad for the environment? Sure. But so is manufacturing replacement engine parts and throwing away broken parts. I can't figure out why people think the emission from a car engine is the only part of the process that is detrimental to the environment. Bizarre.
I’ll be honest. I’ve left my car idling while working. I used to leak survey (outside field work) in Vegas where it gets triple digits every day in the summer. So for lunch i would have to look for shade and blast my AC so I don’t die in there. I couldn’t have my AC without the engine idling so I was pretty much forced to.
The only other alternative to doing that is eating out every day so that I can eat inside of an establishment but I just cant afford that. I have to pack lunch and eat inside my car.
I got a $1000 ticket because my brother was allegedly warming up in the truck during his lunch last December. They don't care that workers are cold or hot or that the cost of doing business is already astronomical, they think they're Saving the environment. The V6 F150 he drives already turns itself off when its stopped, but I guess you can't tell that from a 3 minute video.
Have you tried high petrol/gas prices? Works a treat here in the UK! No idling problems here!
Great idea!
Ours is up, too. That is why it is so mystifying that people will waste gas like this.
Prices are astronomical here too, and guess what. People still don't care lol
People whine about interrupted vacation plans
@@lisaahmari7199 assuming your from the US. In Europe you pay 2,04US$ per liter or 7.73US$ per gallon of gas. In the US it's averaging at about half of that.
My fav is being behind a humongous suburban with a 'save the planet' sticker in the fast food drive thru.
come on that didnt actually happen
@@hunterericson6782 I have one of those stickers on my Suburban and I get lots of comments about it. They're never negative, always folks who understand the humor behind it.
@@noseraph contempt isn't humor.
I heard it uses more gas to turn an engine on and off again, than to idle for a few minutes. If that's correct, sometimes going through a drive thru is less wasteful.
@@beebuzz959 depends on the type of engine, age of the vehicle, type of vehicle, etc. diesel engines, as an example, are a little more finicky than gasoline engines when it comes to the start-up process. This is exemplified with large engines like you have in delivery vehicles or trucks. Newer vehicles it is less of an excuse because of modern technology and a lot of them even have engine cut-offs for when you're stopped at a light and the engine will turn off after a set amount of time.
Hahaha--saving the planet while entertaining us all! Thanks Desi!
My Prius shuts itself off while I wait in line for food when it is cold out. It turns back on when the heat inside falls below a set degrees. That is an advantage of hybrids.
That’s another thing we really should reconsider: drive throughs. So much unnecessary pollution when people could literally just go wait inside an already air conditioned restaurant.
I park my Prius and shut it off before going inside to wait for my food. That way there's no engine turning on while I'm idling to keep a certain temperature or just keep the hybrid battery from discharging too much.
Yep!
@@thenostalgiabusiness many people can do that. i can't.
They're very Idle-istic
Desi is the best correspondent ever to grace this show. Not that I am an expert of comedy, and comedy is undeniably subjective, but if credentials are needed, I have been watching The Daily Show since 1997. I did miss that first year, but I believe all the correspondents were the same.
Can’t wait for Marvel Studio’s release of the *Idle Warriors* 😂
I love Desi Lydic! 😂
Desi looks Great in Suits.👌🏾
Yes being hot helps a great deal
I'm sure she would look great in no suit at all.
I mean ... they say the drivers don't pay, but I guarantee any driver getting these fines is going to end up getting fired / punished in someway.
I’ve automatically turned off my car when I sit longer than 2 mins if waiting on someone, and never leave it running when I leave the car. If it’s cold enough that I need to let it run before I leave to warm it up, maybe 2 mins tops.
All NY registered trucks after a certain manufacture year automatically shut off if left idling for over a certain time.
Many trucks do even outside NY
that's simply not true... plenty of heavy trucks have automatic shutdown, but it's not just always active, you have to choose to turn that system on... doubtful any refrigerated truck ever has an auto-shut down activated... nor would anyone activate it in cold weather
@@wachinpntdry. great point
@@BAYBAY_316 not a great point, on refrigerated trucks, the AC is separate from the engine and can keep running with the engine shut off. I've worked in the business and monitored thousands of ACed trailers that had to maintain 0 degrees at all times.
@@quineloe great point
Glad to see how every person can make a huge impact.
In Singapore car owners are fined $5000 USD equivalent if they leave their vehicle idling
Needless to say I did not see any cars idling while I was there 😂
another funny segment! Desi always brings the laughs
classiest spit take ever! ❤😂
Thanks for standing up for your community!
this woman makes me laugh!
She’s brilliant
Love this concept. Hope it catches on and is applied in other areas.
desi lydic is amazing
Except I almost choked on my coffee - “kind of like when white people do drugs?”
In passenger vehicles/pickup trucks it seems it's always the loud diesels that choose to leave their engines running. Maybe they're just more noticeable. It's loud and stinky.
Desi is my spirit animal
If these people expect a company to take a 2,000+ ticket and there be no retaliation towards the driver they must be out of touch.
yes, but that's on the company's conscience and not yours
In Japan, many people just turn on their vehicles and leave them outside their homes in the morning (during winter) to "warm them up". Also, many people also just leave their cars on when they park at the convenience stores, etc.
💙💙💙 FOUR MORE YEARS!!!!!! 💙💙💙
lol amazon doesnt own the vehicle, they hire mostly independent contractors who own and manage their own truck so you are fining the driver
tbh I cannot imagine any US company isn't going to subtract the fine from the driver's paycheck if they are employed by a larger company
Amazon owns100,000 gas powered & ~14000 electric vans nationwide. Usually cities within 50 miles of a distribution ctr & with populations greater than 500K.
Exactly. Unlikely that the employer is paying either. Those hobby-policemen are a bit naïve. :-)
You're right, and I'm all about helping out working class people, but they're still choosing to idle. At some point the environment needs to take priority.
Brilliant.
Totally original and funny! Reminds me the Jordan Keppler segment about guns control in Sweden. Stuff you watch more than once 😂
We don't need such a law where I live. If you leave your car running and go into a store, it just won't be there when you come back out! Seriously though, keep in mind that semi trucks with a refrigerated trailer have to keep the engine idling so that the refrigeration works. Those trailers are not insulated, so even being shut off for 15 minutes can cause a massive temperature change in the trailer on a warm day.
Awesome!
She is really funny..made my day😂😂😂
Desi is so great! They should make her the full-time host.
I saw a video from the UK where a woman was going mental at a guy for sitting in his car with it idling. She was saying he was poisoning children and the planet. The driver was filming her rant, then he panned his camera round to show the badge on his car's steering wheel.
TESLA.
Now we need to know if he has solar panels at home to power his car.
How did she think he was 'idling' then? If it wasn't making any sound ... Are you sure it wasn't a skit? There are a bunch of such videos especially from the UK nowadays.
@@peterporkeresq.2817she probably saw lights on or something lol.
@@peterporkeresq.2817, he tried telling her it was electric several times, but she just said, "I''m not falling for that. It is very quiet, I'll give you that." And then she continued to bang on about all the toxic emissions it was spewing out.
@@winterlinde5395, unlikely. Some power in the UK comes from solar & wind, but a lot is still coal, etc.
This should be everywhere!
Loved this segment. 😂
2:35 lol this dude cracking up in the back
1:51 If this bounty is as real as it sounds, that's literally 3 snitches/day to make $100k/year. That's a pretty decent side hustle for bicyclist delivery workers.
3+ minutes of recording is pretty fair. Yes, it's long, but any shorter penalizes people who are just doing quick dropoff/pickup.
Hope to get more of these laws in other cities!
People can turn off their engine for that, too.
This is awesome. Cars just sitting there idling make me nuts!
So literally every stoplight in the nation???
@@codymoe4986, or all the cars barely moving in rush hour traffic in every large city in the country EVERY DAY? People aren't thinking this law through at all.
@@gladtravis I have difficulty understanding your logic.
Everyone knows that congestion causes air pollution, but what does it have to do with the unnecessary addition to the problem, by vehicles idling when they can easily be turned off.
The objective is to reduce the problem where it can be reduced. Nobody is saying, no more idling vehicles, will eliminate air pollution.
Your argument appears to be, because we can't eliminate all air pollution, we shouldn't even bother reducing what we can easily reduce.
Am i getting something wrong?
Excellent.
lol
Thanks. I need that this morning.
Just glad she got a segment that isn’t Foxsplaining or related to the election 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 😅
Desi is always on!
I'd be careful with the claim that they only damage the company. Of course, the company can then punish the driver, which I guess is the point of this exercise.
It's still awesome that they go after idlers. Just another piece of the puzzle.
Till those drivers are unemployed....but hey the world is saved yet not really.
Desi Lydic 😍
Great content. I'm not a gamer, but this is the type of content I love from this channel. Thanks!
What does this have to do with being a gamer?
Another side of the story: Idle start-stop features can have negative effects on components like the battery, starter motor, and turbo. Frequent start/stop may also negate the benefit of fuel savings.
then the industry needs to make cars that are better at complying with the law.
@@quineloe How do you rate your understanding of the laws of science on a scale from 1 to 10?
@@coreybangs "laws of science" yeah right I think that's a straight block.
@@quineloe Everything needs to be better than it currently is, but since that's not the case, we need what's going to be best for the planet or overall situation. I've heard that too, that turning a car on and off again uses more gas, hence more pollution, than just idling it for a few minutes. Big rigs might even be different, especially if they've got refrigerated cabinets in back. If there's been a complete study done and turning it on and off again is better, then yes, that's what the law should be. And yes, they need better vehicles for sure! But until that happens, or if someone still has an older vehicle, it should be what's best in that situation.
@@beebuzz959 well you heard wrong. Anything under 30 seconds idling is worse.
Also, as someone who worked in that industry: Refrigeration generators are independent from the main engine. You don't need to idle your truck to keep the refridgeration going!
So it makes sense to an extent- if you have a delivery job- or some sort of job where you’re in, out, drive a very short bit then back out, back in, short drive, etc etc etc, then turning your engine off and on, off and on, off and on, etc is going to WRECK your engine (not to mention burn up a larger amount of fuel) compared to if you had just kept your engine idling.
I completely get it and agree for people who are sitting in their vehicles for hours on end- just idling for no reason…
But for people working? It’s just … restrictive.
disagree - i think thats a myth
They said in the video that you have to video the vehicle idling for 3 min 10 seconds. Idk how long it takes to get out of the car, drop whatever and get back in, but it seems like something you could accomplish in less than that time. Not to mention the odds of them catching you exactly as you park are low, so I think this is more aimed at catching longer idling times. Plus it could get more delivery vans switched to electric
I guess that's why they had the three minutes and ten seconds thing
You’ll wreck your battery for sure.
This does make a bit of sense....(for quick delivery people) especially when parking spots are in really high demand. It lets other drivers know that you will be right out and leaving in just a moment.
This is so awesome!
That's funny! Thanks Desi😂😂😂😂
Luv Desi.
It's mostly the diesel. They only start once a day.
Lol just this morning I was talking to a friend about a side hustle am doing as a contractor. I just learned it could take over a month to in get paid after I submit my invoice at the end of the month. Desi's face was basically my face when I found out.
Love that she's walking down the street while holding her Marg!
but where was the one she offered him?
I remember a couple of decades ago at a small restaurant that I worked at, the local cops would all come in to eat. They all arrived in separate vehicles and would all leave them running during their entire meal. I was just a teen at the time and thought maybe it was so they could leave in a hurry if they needed to. Now I realize that it was probably because Florida is hot and it takes time for a vehicle to cool down.
I went so far as to shut off an idling ambulette.
My daughter did this for a science project about the parent drop off at her school. That was a decade ago.
Desi and Josh are the only two I would watch every week. You should just swap these two every week.
Turning off and turning back on again a big delivery truck (especially) is its own pollution problem. kinda like reheating the oven from zero to 400 degrees every time you stop.and start again. Takes a lot more energy than just keepin it warm.
Electrify. Also, it is a law and it has been tested. People need to be aware of the law, and follow it. Why are people so selfish? Leadership and corruption. I'm glad NYC is enforcing. This needs to go everywhere. It's not about inconvenience.. it is most certainly not about efficiency; this is about cancer, leukemia, and climate change. Humans have the ability to learn and adapt. Let's prove it
@@PhilipX2030 NO
@@PhilipX2030 Do you realize how negligible the exhaust released by a few idling vehicles is relative to the TOTAL AMOUNT of exhaust released by every driving vehicle? Spoiler alert it's not even close. This whole thing is directed at the wrong people. Also believe it or not I'm a strong believer in eliminating fossil fuels. But I prefer to achieve that by doing things that actually make a dent, not going after truckers that deliver your groceries or pave your roads.
@@ronb2008, someone that actually gets it! The amount of cars idling in wall-to-wall rush hour traffic, or drive thrus or dropping off the kid at school in the long line of cars exceed all the delivery trucks in the country.
Desi is hilarious 😆
Love Desi 😊
Auto stop engines have been common for years, its not like it requires an effort to use the function... 😬
Excellent segment, Desi!
Those companies will just fire the drivers!
Not the ethical drivers
Companies have been having a hard time getting drivers, so much so that they got the age of who can be one lowered. It used to be age 25 because that's when our brains can handle traumatic situations better, like in an accident, since they can become giant weapons aimed at a bunch of drivers. I'm sure the companies will do what they can to penalize the drivers though, but I think they're still desperate for drivers.
The state of Florida had a law prohibiting the idling of 8,500+ lb. vehicles that was REPEALED during a process of a comprehensive rule review in late 2011. The rule review was performed in accordance with Governor Rick Scott’s Executive Order 11-0, “Suspending Rulemaking and Establishing the Office of Fiscal Accountability and Regulatory Reform.” The purpose of the annual rule review is to identify rules that are “duplicative, unnecessarily burdensome, or no longer necessary.” The rationale given for the repeal of the idling law was, “Market incentives for diesel fuel cost savings render the anti-idling requirements of Rule 62-285.420, F.A.C., unnecessary.”
So, Rick Scott actually reversed the progress. Not surprising at all for him.
Idle play 😂😂
In SoCal every other person leaves their car running for 30 minutes while sitting in a parking lot on the phone.
Clean air is great, but admittedly those dollar signs caught my attention 😂
Blessings
The companies do not pay the fines. They just pass it on to customers.
Well, technically they do pay the fines.
They just pass the expense on to us… not to be a stickler, but they aren’t sending us a bill for their idling- 😅
so what
I would be incredibly surprised if they didn't just pass it to the offending driver
I LOVE these folks
I've gotten one of these in New York City as a general contractor at a construction site. Our welding truck has to be on to power the crane and welding machine. Someone faking being on it run stops starts recording videotapes for a minute while pretending to tie their shoe and then runs away without ever talking to anyone. They're not interested in saving the environment they just want money. I fought it in court and it got dismissed but this happens to vehicles that need to be running too.
Just had jury duty. Guess what i saw at the courthouse 10 cop cars with the car idling, not only is it bad for the environment but we as tax payers re paying for that gas. SMH
