More hybrids may get car pool perk.
More hybrid electric vehicles will be allowed in the state's car pool lanes under a bill waiting for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's signature. The bill by Assemblyman Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, would increase the number of car pool permits to 85,000 from 75,000 for the eco-friendly vehicles - even when they carry only one person. The legislation would also allow hybrid drivers to use the lanes until 2011. Current law forces hybrids back into regular traffic lanes in 2008.
