Re: HOV Lane Usage in VA (Hampton Roads)
I talked with the "clean fuel" plate people at the DMV. The 05 Accord IS on the list - at least the person I talked with said so. I faxed in my form and I should get the "new" clean fuel plates. These are different than those issued prior to 1 July 06 because now only those issued prior to July 1, 2006 can drive on the I-95/I-395 corridor (glad to be stationed in Norfolk). This way the police can tell which clean fuel plated hybrids are obeying the HOV law change that went into effect July 1st. Of course, this law may become null and void in a year, although they keep extending it.
I will say that being able to drive in the HOV is a nice benefit, but I will admit I can't blame those that disagree with letting hybrids have that option.
