text: - banned driving due to smog. Even-numbered plates one day then the next day odd-number plates, the ones who did use there cars they got a fine of 22-euro ($31). They did that for five days. 4,000 people were fined and 27 people had their cars impounded due to there reaction to the fine. A car being droven every other day helps out with the polution. it cuts back on the polution if it's not running putting it in the enviorment. It's like if you drive once a week then you are only putting a little bit of polution in the enviorment. You aren't putting as much as you would be if you drove everyday a week.
