More information about casual carpooling is available at sfcasualcarpool.com.
Q: I read your column about carpool lane abuse and wondered if you could give those of us who used to be regular casual carpoolers a plug. As COVID-19 restrictions are being lifted, and vaccination and boosting rates are up, hopefully more people will feel safe offering or accepting rides at designated sites and times.
Q: My husband and I used the HOV/express lane near Livermore. Our FasTrak was dinged and we got a $1.25 bill on our account. We don’t have a switch on our FasTrak tag! The rep said we need to update it, which costs $20 for each tag. We have to pay the $1.25 fee and a $20 update charge?A: You must have missed the many warnings about how to use the express lanes. You need to get a FasTrak flex tag to indicate how many people are in your car before you enter the lane.
If not for the median barrier, shoulder barrier, seatbelts, ABS, crumple zones, airbags, etc., all of us could have been killed. I’d be grateful for lower speeds, but drivers won’t change their habits anytime soon, no matter what.A: It’s so good you survived a very dangerous accident. I’m afraid you are right about most drivers’ resistance to changing their habits.
