HOV lane filled with assholes!

Not that it should be a shock to anyone but the Hwy 404 HOV (high occupancy vehicle) lane, that begins at Hwy 7 and ends at Hwy 401, is constantly being driven by assholes who have no one else in the car with them. I considered not using the word asshole but no other word describes a person who can't wait in traffic like everyone else and thinks that rules are for other people. Do you see the number "2" on the car on the sign? That means how many people must be in the car to drive in this lane, not your IQ, jackass!

Yes, I'm angry! On the two nights a week I have to drive to George Brown College using the 404, at least 25% of the cars in the HOV lane have one person in them. If Mother Teresa herself were to use the HOV lane, let's call it a carpool lane, while she was alone in the car, then she'd be dubbed an asshole ... no one escapes my wrath.

Listen buttface! Get back in toe with the rest of us schleps before some freak (no, not me) spasms with road rage and opens up a can of nasty on you.

I suggest that the government install 407-type cameras overlooking these lanes and ticket the nerds who violate. The trillions that would be collected could be used to pay for these cameras and repair our pothole-filled roads. Or, just open up the lane for the rest of the world. I'm into saving/preserving the environment but if twelve cars use the lane during rush hour, and four or five of them have only one person in them, the HOV lane is wasted and the concept for naught. The problem lies with the lack of carpooling opportunities. Unfortunately, I have no answer for this.

It really does make you feel better when you can get things off your chest!

Update:
When I travelled the 404 this past Thursday, there were a lot more carpoolers in this HOV lane so I was very pleased and a lot less angry! I've decided to live a lot longer by not getting stressed with the jokers who use this lane illegally ... they're not worth my time ... until they try to merge in at the end of the lane; then I don't let them in!
