text: Because of the air pollution, Paris set up a partial driving ban to clear the air. On Monday, drivers with a even-numbered license plate have to leave their cars at home or pay a 22-euro fine, which is ($31). Close to 4,000 drivers were fined and 27 people had their cars impounded, due to the reaction of the fine. The good thing about it is, after the change was put into action, congestion went down 60% in the capital of France after 5 days of intensifying the smog. The idea worked perfectly fine and ended up making a great change in France and helped the environment.
