Calif. gives hybrid cars free rein in HOV lane
San Francisco, California - Hybrid cars received a boost on Thursday when California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed legislation allowing certain gas-electric automobiles into high-occupancy commuter lanes with just one occupant.
The law allows drivers of hybrid cars such as the Toyota Prius, the Honda Civic Hybrid and Honda Insight onto the state?s 1,100 miles of highway lanes reserved for cars carrying two or three people during rush hour.
