Took the HOV into DT from 10 today around 3 solo and there was a cop sitting right where it ends at Washington. Good thing he was texting and not protecting & serving.

Speeding in the I-10 managed lanes is worse. It's a quicker way to lose money than betting on our sports teams.

Only problem with the sting this past Thursday, is they pulled over a METRO Board member who had legitimately paid the HOT lane toll just a few minutes before 5:00 PM.

Which then led to a good number of dominos falling afterward...

It's all fun and games until they pull over a Metro Board Member.

The irony is that a parent driving with kids under 16 in the HOV lane is not reducing traffic at all.

I drive in the HOV lanes solo every chance I get. Never been close to getting pulled over.

Glad it happened to her. If it had been a regular citizen, most wouldn't have fought it. And even if someone had, how long till any reviews occur?
