Washtenaw: “Green” Driving

By

The Detroit News reports on proposed state legislation that would require driver’s ed programs to teach environmental lessons, such as the importance of using public transportation and recycling vehicle fluids. The article quotes Pam Morse, owner of Champion Driving School in Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and Saline: “The important thing is to learn how to drive safely, so what does ‘being green’ have to do with anything? Plus, driving schools would have to absorb the cost of this bill. This smacks of political correctness.” [Source]
