This is just a comment about a news story I heard last night. I swear I don't know where these people come from. There was a story last night about how there are a bunch of people driving in the HOV lanes (diamond/ car-pool lanes) as single occupants. Seems there have been a lot of complaints from the other drivers on the road abiding by the law. The story was about Highway 75 in particular. They have stepped up patrols and are enforcing the law more now. Then they showed a guy getting stopped for the offence. Not only did he play stupid to the officer but when he was asked why he was in the HOV lane, he responded. "I wasn't paying attention. I was studying for a test." Then proceeded to show the officer his study papers. Officers response was something like Why are you reading while your driving? I hope he got an extra fine for his dumb ass excuse! I bet the whole time he was taking his test he was thinking about the fact he got caught in the HOV lanes and gave the officer a lame excuse. Therefore doing poorly on his exam. I also hope he saw and heard himself on TV being an idiot.
