Holiday Driving and HOV Lane Laws
Yes, you're in a rush. Yes, it's tempting when you're driving on a highway to want to drive in the less congested HOV lane. But, if you're driving alone, resist the temptation! HOV lanes are High Occupancy Vehicle lanes that are designated for cars that contain at least two people.
