Question 5

Q.		Have the states or cities started inforcing these offenses or will there be a grace period in 2005?

Some states are quite relaxed when it comes to the enforcement of the initiatives put forth within their state. However the fact is, these laws and regulations are in place right now and can be upheld by enforcement officers if they so do wish. These rules and regulations are complex and there are some exceptions to the rules. To my knowledge there are no grace periods. I know for a fact that fines have been and are being upheld in California, New York and New Jersey. These are being enforced by State Highway patrol and the Highway Transportation ministry. The best way to avoid it all together is abide by the rules within each state. Just don't idle. Their are solutions in place.
