California Hybrid Drivers are no longer enjoying exclusive HOV access perks.

California originally offered drivers with Hybrid Vehicles, a placard allowing for HYBRID DRIVERS to drive in CARPOOL LANES without a requirement of having more than 1+passengers. Now, the “offering” or “perk” is no longer allowing the owners with the placard sticker, the ability to drive in single-occupancy HOV access CARPOOL LANES. Extensions are not allowed either. The six month extension that was passed, last August, would allow drivers to extend up to July 1, 2011. Well, Today is July 1, 2011.

The reason for this change is due to lack of effectiveness of the program.

DMV Cracks Down On Loopholes In System

IN REDDING, Calif. – Starting  July 1, the Department of Motor Vehicles will engage in tracking safety convictions.  This process is different than how they do it now.

Redding Driving School Representatives explained how the DMV will begin tracking violations.  (not sure who at Redding Driving School is authorized to make the claims)

Right now, if people go to traffic school, violations will be “dismissed.” This has allowed people to get multiple violations dismissed within 18 months.

Technically, people aren’t allowed to go to traffic school more than once in an 18 month period.

In July, even if you go to traffic school, violations will be tracked. They will be considered “masked.”

If someone has more than one safety violation in an 18 month period, the “masked” violation will be converted to a “conviction.”

This will also mean insurance companies will be notified.
