Well, here's food for thought for all you Fairfax slugs. For the new law that passed this year the original bill would have started to assess points on the second HOV violation. I believe Delegate Dave Albo fought that and had it changed to the third offense.

The first link shows the originally presented legislation with 3 point on the second offense. The second link is Del. Albo's amendment.

Like I said before, the best thing we can do as slugs is let our voices be heard!! Whether it be to the state police about ticketing violators or to our Government about the laws. We have the numbers, we just need to band together and bombard them with our thoughts and possible solutions!!

Thanks, Wagonman. Maybe life in the "fast" lanes will get better when points are involved.

Something or someone must have mentioned violating HOV restrictions because this a.m. I noted the overhead message boards warned potential violators that they would be subject to tickets at 6 a.m. If this is effective, we probably won't see many violators in the future.

Was that notice on all the boards? At Springfield the board was off, so I didn't pay any more attention. If it was on all the boards, that's good, but I really don't think it will dissuade the habitual violators.

I think that was just a regular routine to display that message on the overhead boards. I've usually seen them once in a while.

True. The "Violators will be ticketed at 6:00 a.m." (or "at 3:30 p.m.") notice has been out awhile. I usually see those messages on the rare days I get into the HOV lanes before restrictions take effect.

Actually this was the first time I saw that particular message. It may have been there before, I just didn't see it. I hope they follow up on the message tho!

I think what the sign is saying is that at 6am they will begin ticketing people even if they are on HOV prior to 6am. I remember the rule was if you were on HOV before 6am there was no ticket. Now it's regardless if you were on before or not. If you are on HOV at 6, you get a ticket.
