Republican lawmakers in Texas have once again introduced a bill that tries to shove fetal personhood into carpool lane regulations. This time, however, the bill passed the House after an amendment from Democrats to include all mothers, whether their children are in the car or not. The dangerous proposal that could further entrench the idea of personhood into state law now goes to the Senate for consideration.
It requires the fast/e/sunshine pass that is radio monitored. I’m sure some people do it in other people’s cars that don’t have it, but it’s a fairly hefty ticket if I remember correctly.
No, I mean what if you dont use the toll lane. What if you take the proletariat roads instead?
Hours of your life and fractions of your soul.
Honestly though, when the prices get significantly high, both sets of lanes are backed up to hell and it doesn’t really matter.
I did logistics to and from MIA in my late teens and early twenties. And the proletariat route was often (when I say often, I mean 95%) many times faster when it was >$16. I witnessed idiots running over the little white poles that separate the lanes, to join us.
