I love threads like these because it really shows how flexible opinions are, post about ai surveillance state and everyone is against it but post about car drivers getting fined for not wearing a seatbelt and everyone loves it.

I just wish they would have one where I live to fine all the people using the HOV lane who aren't supposed to be

Then we watch the numbers plummet and see there's only actually 5% of people using the lane and finally see how useless the hiv lane is so we can just make it a regular third lane.

The HOV lane is supposed to look empty. If it was packed full of cars, carpooling wouldn't have any advantage because you wouldn't go any faster.

I thought the advantage of carpooling was saving money on gas and car maintenance. Also, environment.
