hybrid cars


I have heard of this but what is the update on this situation. Are there specific cars that can go in the lane? Is this law now out of date?

  1. all hybrids in carpools lanes allowed 24/7

  2. California (Update Feb. 2007)

    The Department of Motor Vehicles is no longer accepting applications from drivers who own a Toyota Prius, Honda Civic or older Honda Insight hybrids for carpool stickers.

    State law allowed the DMV to issue 85,000 stickers to certain hybrid drivers on a first-come, first-serve basis.

    Spokesman Steve Haskins said that his agency had 700 applications over that level and no longer wanted motorists to send in an application.

    “We have no more stickers available to issue and any applications sent to DMV will likely not be successfully processed,” Haskins said. “Any unprocessed applications and checks will be returned as soon as the last of the stickers are mailed to customers.”

    You can use the carpool lane but not just by yourself…………….
