Not to mention them driving in the break-down lanes pretending to respond to an accident ahead only to drive right by it. That irks me more that anything else on HOV.
Kindest Regards, mroyal edit: Oh, I guess I did mention it |

No, they'll just tailgate you trying to get you out of their "official" way. (Watched a circus of "official" vehicles cut people off, swerve in an out, tailgate, etc. last night. Quite a show.)

There are several "law enforcement" components of DHS (Secret Service, TSA, Customs, Border Patrol.) Most of them (notably the Secret Service) have blue bubbles on their dash, (even on POVs) and use the HOV perk as well as parking in government only spaces.

"Typical Feds--exempt themselves from laws that cover everyone else." Hey now, does that mean that I can stick my govt. ID badge on the back of my car and ride solo???

my husband works for DHS, and he said that the "known rule" is to only use HOV in emergencies and not to take advantage--hence the need for the blue light!! obviously people are taking advantage!! as you can tell by HOV, not too many do from HDS do abuse this rule. that drives me crazy! i can totally understand if it was an emergency and they were securing our homeland, but come on......

Someone must have an agreement with law enforcement in this area because you never see any of these vehicles pulled over. Did the tags designate "Homeland Security"?

I know someone who has a DOJ car and can ride in HOV lanes. From what she tells me, all Federal government cars can ride HOV. Typical Feds--exempt themselves from laws that cover everyone else.

I suppose it falls within the "law enforcement" exemption?
