Was she trying to make a joke or is Rep. Thompson really that dumb? Nevermind – I just learned that she’s quite old. Just the kind of out-of-touch person the automobile dealers want to keep in office (for whatever the reason). Democratic state Rep. Senfronia Thompson criticized the company by saying that “it would have been wiser if Mr. Tesla had sat down with the car dealers first.” But there is no “Mr. Tesla” involved in the company, which is named after the late inventor Nikola Tesla and is founded and run by Elon Musk.

US-36 drivers: Since you’re new to these lane markings, I’ll clue you in on something that California drivers have known for a while: DO NOT CROSS DOUBLE WHITE LINES! do not do this Double white lines are the same as double yellow lines in regards to crossing them: DON’T DO IT! The only difference is that the white color indicates that traffic is flowing in the same direction, while yellow indicates traffic flowing in the opposite direction on either side of the line. Hopefully this information will help you avoid a traffic ticket when entering/exiting the HOT lanes.
