Memorial Day Aftermath

So where is it in the DMV handbook that says, for the days after a holiday, that traffic shalt suck for two days? I was backed up all the way at a distance of not even 200 yards from our exit yesterday. And there were no accidents or anything.

I know it's not the rain. Oh wait I know what it is, it's people jumping on HOV when they have already been waiting for an hour in regular traffic. HOT Lanes won't work, it can't even handle non HOV people with HOV people now... And it will bottleneck.

Look at all the exit points. Whoever bamboozled VDOT into buying into HOT Lanes should hire me on board because I'd like to see how companies with fantasy visions sell it to idiots that waste taxpayer's money and time, and become rich from it.

I've been told by a VDOT employee that the State Police don't have the budget to patrol HOV lanes on a more regular basis. That's why you only see them like once a week if that. Maybe once every two or three weeks at exit points in the afternoon. So when HOT Lanes are in effect how are they going to be enforced? My source said they had no idea on how it was going to work at all, they don't have the technology or how it's going to be laid out yet. That's fantastic.

Anyways I had someone in my car this morning that smelled like ear wax.
