Mad Man Traffic

While your waiting in line for gas make use of your time to ponder the answers to the questions about making things better for your commute. Improvements that could improve your gas mileage. The hot topic at the DoT is “HOT” lanes. “HOT” stands fo High Occupancy Toll” lanes. The difference between HOT and HOV is you can pay extra to drive by yourself legally in a HOT lane. A kind of express lane. The problem is the idea has problems yet to be worked out. How much will it cost per day? Per week? Per month? If there’s a guarantee of “no traffic” what happens if an accident or stall blocks the HOT lane? Will there be a refund? What about barriers to keep non-complying vehicles out? And, if so, what kind of barriers? Rubber? Concrete? Your good looks? All legitimate questions that need legitimate answers so you don’t get hot under the collar!
