yes, because having "non-drivers" in the cars counting as slugs does not help congestion one bit.
I'm all for it - motorcycles don't reduce congestion, hybrids don't, and CHILDREN don't either. Should be a rule - HOV-3 adults, period. No matter what you're driving. At least let's be consistent, if you really want to reduce congestion. |

Three persons is good enough for me, and it appears that 99% of everyone agrees. I'm leaving it at that

The main rationale for allowing motorcycles in the HOV lanes (in addition to fuel efficiency), is reduced parking congestion in the metropolitan areas served by HOV lanes. You can fit at least four or five motorcycles in the same space a car occupies (even hybrids).

But riding alone in YOUR hybrid does?

you obviously haven't read.
Sure, remove the exemptions for hybirds. I know this will happen sooner or later BUT AT THE SAME TIME remove the exemptions for motorcycles and for non-adults counting as slugs. if you're going to be pure about improving traffic congestion, try at LEAST to be consistent about it. |

So unless everyone agrees with Qorc that kids shouldn't count for HOV, we shouldn't do anything about the biggest problem.

nope. You can do both. You can do either.
But the people here that use their kids as "slugs" to cart them off to daycare or wherever, and DEFEND their right to use HOV, are hypocrites to the core. Why does discussing this issue so threaten some people here? Because they have a self-interest in preserving their own options, while attacking others for doing the same. and we call that??? begins with an "h".... |

[?] Anyone know for sure what the rationale is for allowing motorcycles an HOV exemption? [?]
[B)] If it is to provide the mo'bikes a less-congested, safer environment over the regular lanes, does that rationale apply anymore with the increase congestion on HOV? [B)] Just wonderin'. Keep on sluggin'! [:)] |
