HOV

The ring road around Boston has this wonderful thing called a High Occupancy Vehicle lane (affectionately known as a HOV) which you are only allowed to drive in if you have two or more people in your car. (I wouldn't really think half full counts as high, but that's by the by). Anyway, this morning, the cars in the single HOV lane were moving significantly faster than the rest of the carriageway, which means there are more than three times as many people so ridiculously attached to their cars that they can't give up a tiny bit of freedom to share a car.
