I don't have a Hummer, but I have parked in one of these spots from time to time at my local grocery store and at the near by CVS. Unlike Handicap Parking, that are regulated by the law, and make perfect sense why they are needed and used, Clean Air Only Parking doesn't seem fair.
I just had to check with a few Police Officers, one Parking Patrol Officer, and a little internet research, these spots are not regulated by law enforcement in the state of California (if you live elsewhere you may need to do some research)
This is the part I don't understand... Why does someone who drive a clean air vehicle need to park right up front? Is the store trying to reward those who have enough money that they can run out and buy a Prius? In the same sense are they punishing me for having a car I can afford, but don't have what they consider "Clean Air"? Hey, My car passed it's smog and is legal! Just because your Leaf can pass it's smug, you are no better then me. (Yes, that's a reference from South Park's Season 10 Episode 2 "Smug Alert)
I don't park in the family spots without my family, I respect our veterans for all that they have done for our country, and leave those spot alone, but I have a hard time "respecting" those clean air parking spots!!!
