Geena, here in California, it’s a hefty fine if you’re caught using the carpool lane in a car…by yourself.

There is, fortunately, a special pass you can buy here that allows you to use the HOV (high occupancy vehicle) lanes as a lone driver. The fees are used to help maintain the HOV lanes and to pay the meager salaries of the people who sit in the monitoring stations.

How so? I said that I used the carpool lane right when I was new around here and wasn’t paying attention. As soon as I realized what I was doing, I moved over. So there. Nyah. :-)

You’re credibility in the “That Honest Girl” department is definitely beginning to crumble… :)

People get cited for this often enough. It’s a $280 fine or something like that. I don’t do it because I’d feel extremely self-conscious doing it, and it would bother my conscience besides.
