This is becoming a cliche here on HN, to call laws and lawmakers stupid after reading a headline.

> I don't idle for fun, I do it to reduce wear and tear.

And this law isn't there for fun either.

> I'm also sure normies will recognise when a commercial vehicle is idling to maintain cargo cooling, to maintain hydraulics, etc...

Everybody is stupid but me!!!!! How tireing. Idling is allowed for running a piece of equipment.

    No. More so, along the lines of, random people should not be given financial incentives to regulate things they don't understand, especially not without a long checklist. A 2,01m video covers only the most basic thing.

    Yeah, it's driven by the hippies who made OEMs write in manuals that you should immediately go after starting your car or bike. Scrape the cylinders real good while they're bone dry..
