Last year the State of Florida passed a law permitting single occupants to ride in HOV lanes with the purchase of a decal. I'm curious...has anyone in FL or other similar states had experiences with police awareness of hybrids? Driving in the HOV lane is a great perk, but not if I'm going to be stopped every so often because the patrolman doesn't recognize the Civic Hybrid (unlike the Prius) at first glance and more likely doesn't see the small decal going by at 60 miles per hour.
