Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper has signed into law an end to the state’s full ban on so-called “puffing,” or leaving a car running while the driver is away.
The practice is common on frigid Colorado winter mornings, but can leave the driver with a ticket because “puffing” makes cars vulnerable to theft.
