Here in Memphis we have a couple of miles of HOV lanes and I as well as most people in this city drive in this lane all the time alone in the car. My taxes paid for that lane and I should be able to use it. I went to L.A. and they have the HOV lane and I couldn't believe during the hellish rush hour that this lane was pretty much open. If that had been Memphis that lane would have been just as full as the others because no one here obeys and it is not very well inforced. While in L.A. I took my chances and jumped in and out of the HOV lane and got on up the road. :)
Yeah, they want to toll on the HOV lanes, make them into "Lexus lanes". Popular idea among flush Lexus owners.
Remember that stupid Nissan commercial years ago? "Oh -- I didn't realize it was you, Bob!"
