Pardon my ignorance, what is an HOV?

I drove in Seattle for 41 years. I HATED HOV lanes. I got an IT contract at Blue Cross in Lynnwood and drove there from Renton. I bought a motorcycle endorsement for my license and then bought a motorcycle specifically for the commute via HOV lane.

One of the things I love about Kentucky (where I have lived for 4 years) is that they have NO HOV lanes. They also have as many freeway lanes entering the city as Seattle does, but with a fraction of the traffic.

I’ve lived in the Seattle area since 1989 and can vouch for all the HOV lanes and the inevitable, widespread traffic snarls. Seattle has long had some of the worst traffic backups in the country.

BTW, I moved there from Kentucky!

In hindsight, I should have stayed, but was a lib back then and just followed my politics.
