The first time I saw the toll lanes in So California I thought they were a pretty good idea. But I also thought how much it sucked for people to be stuck in the general purpose lanes for hours and for people to have to live so far from their work that they had to pay so much to get out of the traffic and into the toll lanes.

Also, I saw a huge wreck on that freeway, "it was the the worst accident I'd ever seen" involving those toll lanes in So California... traffic all of the sudden came to a stop and several cars behind me had to slam on their brakes. To avoid ramming the back of our stopped cars and guy swerved through the VPs into the toll lanes, which caused a toll lane driver to swerve and hit the concrete barrier head on, which caused other to swerve back into the gen purpose lanes and hit even more people there. It was crazy and I saw it all in my rear view mirror.
