LETTER: Ignoring the rules for HOV lanes is easy

Updated July 16, 2019 - 12:48 am

I have been using car-pool lanes for more than 30 years on a daily basis and have had a second occupant maybe twice in that time. I have never been issued a citation for this issue. I figure that if I do get ticketed for driving solo, the penalty costs divided by 30 years of using car-pool lanes reduces the fine to a petty toll.

I will continue to utilize the car-pool lanes, especially when driving solo. Troopers from the Nevada Highway Patrol have followed me, passed me and have led me through the car-pool lanes. They have even given me the dirty eye when they realized that I was alone.

Ever since the so-called 24-hour enforcement in Las Vegas, I have continued using the car-pool lanes. Seems as though only a few NHP troopers really care about doing their jobs. I can’t blame them with the beginner’s pay they get and the sad leadership they follow.

The point of having a game program was to give MLB fans travelling to Las Vegas for their team something to hold onto from this cool experience. Not to mention it could be a way to promote the A’s in 2028.

It’s sad and very concerning that Nevada’s board that governs the management of our wildlife is so behind the times and refuses to acknowledge the interests of the majority of the public.
