Exactly. The whole system seems hilariously naïve if you have any real-world driving experience in the bay area. I drove 205/580->680->880->237 daily for years

Exactly. The whole system seems hilariously naïve if you have any real-world driving experience in the bay area.
I drove 205/580->680->880->237 daily for years, one of the first express corridors. People constantly crossing over the double-white line, intentionally exiting the lane at each transponder to skip tolls, driving on the shoulder, driving past a huge line of cars so they can bully their way in at the last moment. CHP seems to let most of that slide - they're busy with the massive accidents that constantly result.
I highly doubt they're going to care about 1 vs 2 vs 3, and I feel for them if they're expected to.
- ryandrake 5y agoThe last two years have shown us that people will routinely and casually break the rules merely to avoid mild discomfort, even while lives are on the line and people are dying. I don’t see how these voluntary transponders are even remotely effective.
