Perhaps it's parked in a handicapped spot, or it's rush hour parking. Maybe the vehicle was left booted over 24 hours. But I've never heard of cars being towed to help sell deodorant....

Kids should not drive cars
2009-08-24 23:04:00 Children under the age of eighteen should not get behind the wheel of a car without adult supervision. A new law currently in committee will establish minimum federal requirements for state laws regarding Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) and encourage all states to adopt such laws that meet those minimum requirements within 3 years. Why is this necessary? Car crashes are the leading cause of death among American teenagers. By the summer of my senior year in high school, I’d lost three friends to car accidents. As a high school teacher, I lost many more. * From 1994 to 2003, a total of 57,142 teenagers were killed in motor vehicle crashes. * Teenage drivers account for only 6.4 percent (12.5 million) of the total drivers in the United States, but account for 14 percent of all drivers involved in fatal crashes and 18 percent involved in police-reported crashes. * No other kind of hazard comes close to claiming as many teenage lives, including teenage homicides (14 percent) and ...

Proposed punishment for CTA radio airwave thief: Cleaning rail cars and pro
2009-08-05 13:00:00 The Case of the CTA Radio and Airwaves Thief lit up the blogosphere yesterday. I wrote about the 20-year-old Chicagoan who charged in federal court with impersonating a train official.Marcel Carter even gave an interview on a park bench to ABC7 reporter Sara Schulte, in which he wondered whether the charge was a misdemeanor. Um, no. It's a felony charge.Now, what Carter did was dumb and dangerous, but I don't believe he deserves 20 years in prison, the maximum he could receive. I do think he should be punished, though fellow ChicagoNow blogger Garrard McClendon feels Carter deserves nothing more than probation. We discussed Carter and his proposed punishment last night on Garrard McClendon Live on CLTV. I think that while...

Max-capacity rail cars maxed out by CTA
2009-07-05 19:05:00 As huge throngs of people made their way our of Grant Park Friday night after viewing the fireworks, some Brown Line riders might have done a double take in boarding one of the CTA's three "max-capacity" rail cars. These train cars have most of the seats removed to allow for greater capacity.These rail cars were first broached by then CTA President Ron Huberman at the first CTA Tattler Coffee with Ron more than a year ago. Then last fall the CTA spent about $10,000 per rail car to roll out three test cars. It turns out those max-capacity cars failed the test and plans to expand the pilot were quietly dropped late last year. "The factors were that customers didn't...
