So, if I am driving somewhere and decide to give someone else a lift because I am headed that way, I am breaking the law? What REALLY impresses me is that this is a "good thing" as most cities encourage car-pooling, ride sharing, HOV and so on to eliminate more vehicles on the streets, reduce emissions, improve per-traveler fuel efficiency and other positive benefits. But, when money and politics get involved? All bets and benefits are off apparently. Can't have someone cutting in on our slice of the pie. Especially odd/interesting is that the cities that are "clamping down" on this (LA, San Francisco, Austin, Philadelphia, etc.) are supposed to have progressive and green-minded policies. What is more green than putting more people into a single car instead of into multiple ones? So, is giving a friend (or even a stranger) a lift a "bad thing"? Because some folks are claiming that it is.
