I don't buy this. They have lights and can easily jump over to the HOVs if there is a need. Are we going to let all off duty firefighters in the HOVs also?

The rules are vague; however, VDOT or someone should let slugs know exactly what the deal is. I agree that the policy could be and probably is circumvented because of the general nature of the rules statement.

or maybe they will finally meet in person, and they will find that they are each other's spouse!!!

I hope that neither of them are married... :)

Anyway, feel free to post here how your date went. :)

Law enforcement exception and others are probably subject to abuse, just like folks sometimes using handicap hangers on their rear view mirror when not proplery entitled to or when it's just plain unnecessary.

I personnaly dont agree with every law enforcement being able to drive in HOV. If you are in a marked car, yes. Undercover Yes. But the Special Agent in Charge (IE Team LeadProgram Manager) who was a cop 20 years ago and is still allowed to carry a gun, drive a GOV vehicle with a light, now that just seems to be a little "above the law"

Me too! I wonder if they will like one another when they finally meet! They may find they aren't what they think they are or they may be standing right behind each other in the slug line and already know one another, wouldn't that be funny?

I think law enforcement is permitted because of their duties of possibly having to respond to an emergency at any given time. I think they should be exempt from HOV rules. Now, someone impersonating an officer is a different set of circumstances. Not only are they violating HOV rules, but impersonating an enforcement officer is serious.
