Yea I know what you mean. I've seen people do that, flying on the regular lanes and then when some congestion comes up, they change over to carpool without even looking. Can be very dangerous, and a huge fine if nothing else.

Again, I'm somewhat disappointed but I love my HAH and wouldn't trade it for anything. I don't think I'd get much advantage of the carpool lanes anyways. When I do travel on the weekends on highways with those lanes, I usually have passengers anyways.
