Excuse my ignorance, but can someone please bring me up to speed on the the single car drivers that are allowed to travel the HOV with their red or blue light sitting on the dash. There seems to be a rash of them popping up in all types of vehicles now from SUV's to smaller Toyota's. At first I assumed they all belonged to some type of emergency response unit but that theory was dispelled this morning when I saw another single-driver driving an E-Class Mercedes (wearing his business suit and tie) with the blue light on his dash.[?]

Sounds like some people are playing the "trick game" by impersonating law enforcement. I would think that these type vehicles should have government plates on them, if not, well then is impersonating law enforcement a misdemeanor or felony?

Thanks for the list of rules and obviously they all make perfect sense except there never seems to be any emergency they are responding to except trying to get to work on time. I'm not a speeder but I seem to pass several of them everyday as they cruise alone.

Well, sadly the rules don't say "law enforcement vehicles responding to an emergency" are exempt, they just say that "law enforcement vehicles", regardless of purpose, are exempt from HOV requirements.

I believe impersonating a law enforcement officer is a Class 1 misdemeanor, which means up to 12 months in jail or fine up to $2500, or both.

I would like to test the theory that they are NOT all law enforcement but cheaters, by putting one of those blue lights on my dash. hmm where can I buy a blue light like that?

I'm curious about that theory also. I'll let msticaries try it and report back to us. We'll come visit you in jail.
