Bylaw...

...so apparently Bridgewater wants to make a new Bylaw....get this....the Anti-Idling ByLaw.

"The bylaw allows a vehicle to idle for no more than three minutes and calls for a minimum $150 fine and a maximum fine of $10,000 or a year in jail." http://thechronicleherald.ca/NovaScotia/1141426.html

Well if that's the case then tell Timmies to hurry the heck up cause there's no way you can get through their drivethru in under 3 minutes! I can understand wanting to save the environment but, seriously, isn't there a better way? What are we supposed to do during road construction? If they expect people to sit and wait for the slow sign to appear with no air conditioning because the darn car is shut off then they have something else coming. Also, did they not clue in that we live in Nova Scotia...the land of crappy winter seasons....how on earth am I going to get to work with a windshield full of snow cause I wasn't allowed to leave the car running long enough for the hot air to melt it? Can you imagine spending a year in jail with murderers, pedophiles, rapists, robbers and other criminals all because you left the car running too long in the McD's drivethru? Hardly seems fair, eh? Do they not have any other ideas they could run with....what's next, make people cut their lawns with scissors cause the lawnmower polutes the air too much?
