Red/Blue Light Drivers?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   MDC, funny you should mention the FOP folks.  I happen to have those tags, and my wife and I were having a joking conversation about how I could pick up the red/blue lights and do that.  However, I know that I'm not eligible to use the HOV when I'm in my personal vehicle running solo, so I only do it with slugs.

	The only thing I can say to your statement is perhaps those FOP folks are "on-duty", even in their personal vehicles.  I think it varies with the respective agency.  But if they're not, then they should play by the rules.

	You guys truly are a funny bunch! Thanks for the laughs. They made my day. I'm new to the dating game so I don't see why slug-lines is a bad place. At any rate, I'm a serious poster so I want to be taken serious. I just need to get moody girl to stop emailing me.

	How about the really obese? If they have to pay for 2 tickets on Southwest, then they should only need to pick up one more person in HOV - or none, depending on their gross tonnage. -------- 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid Funny, I've never been in a motorcycle only traffic jam!

	I didn't mention another group of drivers I've seen cheating in HOV. People in cars with FOP specialty plates driving solo. There's not a lot of them, but I've seen several over the summer.

	carleric, I think it's proper to count all people. If you can't count children because they can't drive, then you can't count illegal aliens, or anyone without a drivers license since they aren't allowed to drive either. Oh yeah, if someone doesn't own a car they can't count towards HOV-3 either. I can see an argument for allowing pregnant women to count as two, but it's not really enforceable.

	Make sure to bring three bags, one for your head, one for hers just in case yours falls off, and one for anybody else that happens upon you both together.

	Enuf truly IS Enuf, Please excuse me while I vomit! [xx(] All better, now, let me get this straight......if you are so hot......why are you using SL.com to pick up women? It seems to me, if you are such a stud, you would have to beat the real women away with a stick. Right? [;)]
