hybrids get them off HOV

either that or be nice enough to pick up slugs.

Gorc,

Maybe people should stop counting you. Children are people too. Your selfishness is extreme and maybe when the hybrid exemptions are over, people will add you to the "DO NOT RIDE" list. Grow out of your narrow mindedness.

As for me being a moron, I'm a hybrid owner who also car pools, so who is the moron now? As for not counting children, well, then we might as well as add morons to the list.

Sometmes my children accompanying me into the city when the schools are closed and go to emergency daycare. Yes, I ride w/o any other drivers. So, am I to look at my children and say, "You don't count as people towards a carpool" and take the regular lanes? Also, the people with family from out of town -- "Oh, grandma, you aren't working so we must take the regular lanes"? See how ridiculous your gripe against "non-working" bodies is?

Yes, carpool lanes are meant for reducing the number of cars from the road. So why aren't you carpooling? Yes, the hybrid envy/hatred is silly -- it's a case of picking out the most obvious and saying "Look, look, this is THE reason why there's added congestion!", instead of looking at the whole picture.

But to dictate how the lanes are used and by whom, makes you just as self-serving as the rest of the narrow minded lot.

hybrids suck it was just an auto motive companies way to sucker people out of suv's when a hybrid cost's the same as a 99-2000 expedition or navigator why are you people so blind to the tricks of the trade in advertising.

iggy can help!!!!

Also, what a ridiculous statement that children do not count as occupants in the vehicle. A bit misguided in the interpretation of the HOV use. I think the idea was to maximize the vehicle occupancy.......
