That new sarcophagus smell

California is known for insanity: electing actors to high office, San Francisco, putting a bear(!) on its flag.

But to truly peer into the madness that is our Golden State, you need look no further than its traffic. California invented “freeways,” followed quickly by “gridlock” and “smog.” Like the Huns with horseback archery, they perfected road rage and drive-by shootings. And to ease up on all of that, they invented the HOV lane to encourage carpooling.

Well, leave it to a Californian to take HOV lane rules to the EXTREME.
