Why I Do Not Like HOV Lanes!

A Waste Of Time, Money, And Resources

HOV (high occupancy vehicles) lanes are such a waste of resources and a source of revenues for local governments.

Which Lobby Promoted This Humbug?

HOV lanes are pet projects of paternalistic elected representatives who want adults to change their behavior. Given the fact that it is so unrealistic that commuters would find a fellow commuter who happens to be on a similar schedule as well as working and residing roughly in the proximity of yourself so that you can share a car one wonders which nut ever came up with the idea of HOV lanes. Or which lobby promoted this humbug?

Nothing But Worsening The Commute For Most

I would bet that HOV lanes in conjunction with unconstitutional speed limits (I wrote a separate blog on this subject) contribute in a major way to the daily grind/congestion on our highways during rush hour. Without HOV lanes there would likely be much fewer of those insane slowdowns and stop and go traffic.

Do Not Despair

Why do we not have more telecommuting in the Internet Age? When will finally computers drive us to work?
