   Back to the topic of enforcement.  THe State Police have been ticketing violators as they come down the ramps at Horner Rd (Prince William Parkway) and Dale Blvd.  So I don't understand it why all of a sudden the ramps are not part of the HOV lanes.  Where do the Lanes begin and end.  This had to be a lawyer who came up with this.  (No offense to Slugging lawyers) The Fairfax State Police and the Prince William State Police should coordinate a crack down on the entrance ramps.  If the ramps are not considered HOV lanes, than give the drive a ticket for backing up on an entrance ramp and reckless driving. 

	I do know of one State Trooper who was working the ramp at Dale Blvd when a violator spotted the Troopers she backed up on the ramp and then got on the regular lanes. The Trooper climbed over the Jersey wall and pull the person over and gave her three ticket - HOV, reckless driving and backing up. We need more aggressive enforcement like that.    

	Jerry

	Wow, Jerry... I saw that woman do that as well. I didn't realize she got ticketed for that. I salute that Trooper.
