I was amazed when I was out in L.A. a few years ago. People actually obey the HOV lanes out there. Here in Memphis everybody rides in the HOV lane (there is only about 8 miles of HOV lane here and that’s 4 miles going west and 4 miles going east) but it’s a joke here. It is paid for by our taxes so we feel free to drive in that lane at any time. I even jumped in the HOV lane out on “the 10” east of L.A. I couldn’t believe the horrible traffic there and there was an open lane (HOV) to the left of the standstill traffic in the other lanes. Those poor people were like sheep!

They have those stinking HOV lanes in Atlanta. They're nearly empty most of the time, as people aren't inclined to carpool nearly as much as the libtards want. They are a huge waste of taxpayer money when the other 6 lanes are clogged bumper-to-bumper and the HOV lane sits nearly empty.

What they need in Atlanta is a 6-lane I-75 bypass (3 north, 3 southbound) with NO exits within 30 miles of the city. A sizeable portion of Atlanta's traffic along I-75 is people travelling through the city, not local commuters.

The 10 eh?

You are lucky you weren't shot. That road cuts through some really rough and desperate commuter country.

I even jumped in the HOV lane ...

Wow. If I did that on I-270 near DC where I live, I'd be looking at a possible $500 fine and 1 point. Ouch.
