does your state have this crazy law....
while talking to a friend i'm told "thank god there is a law to protect me from jerks like you with a loud motor warming up your car at 5am".....wait a minute, there's a law against warming up your car?!?!
apparently there is for colorado. but it's more to protect people from car theft. do you live in a state with this crazy law??? if so, sound off....

Re: does your state have this crazy law....
I have that law where I'm from ('burbs of Syracuse, NY, maybe even all of NY ?). I would never have known about it until my mom's cousin told me about a year or so ago. If your doors are locked, and it's warming up, you're fine. But if your doors are unlocked, it's illegal. Personally, I do it anyways. I stand right by my front window and watch my car when it's warming up anyways. As soon as the windshield has started to melt, that's good enough for me.

Re: does your state have this crazy law....
Oh the joys of having a broken ignition switch. I can go out start my car, take the keys out, lock it and go back in with no worries. Hell if I know if there is a law against it or not though.

Re: does your state have this crazy law....
What is this law, is it because of the noise, pollution, or what?

Re: does your state have this crazy law....
If there is such a law, I break it every winter and I don't care (in central illinois).

Re: does your state have this crazy law....

Re: does your state have this crazy law....
If Florida (where it gets over 100 in the summer), if you leave your kids in the car with it running they can arrest you and take your kids. If you leave your kids in the car without it running, you're okay.

That is beyond stupid. Here in NZ, if you leave your keys in the car with it running, and it gets stolen, your insurance just won't pay out. No need for a law against it. And if your kids die because you left them in a hot car you get charged with man slaughter, regardless of whether it was running or not. Of course we have some pretty stupid laws on our books as well.

Re: does your state have this crazy law....
That might be to avoid the danger of the kids accidentally hitting the shifter and putting the car in gear. I've seen it on the news a few times - even with the parking brake on a kid knocks the car in to gear and it rolls into traffic.

No state law, but city codes prevent this due to pollution.

Re: does your state have this crazy law....
Thats because most people don't know how to use a parking brake...3 clicks does nothing.
