It seems driving a hybrid in south today (Nov 22, 2005) San Francisco could pay off with a ticket, only this time it's not going to hurt your insurance rates. The South San Francisco Police Department is teaming up with the "Ford Hybrid Patrol" to pull over fuel-efficient drivers at random in a customized Mercury Mariner Hybrid patrol SUV (complete with flashers and bullhorn). Drivers will be rewarded free gas cards.
David Cue, Escape/Mariner HEV Chief Engineer, will also being giving fuel efficiency tips to both the lucky drivers and the police officers. It's all part of an effort to increase fuel efficiency in the police dept as well as raise awareness of hybrid vehicles. This story was found at the auto channel.
