That is incredibly unsafe. Whatever city has that is retarded and I'm surprised that's not illegal. Is that for some retarded toll? They're willing to hurt people over some 25 cent toll?

It doesn't look to be a toll, but rather a bus-only lane. It seems like the buses are the only ones able to lower the poles.

LOL that's what people get for being retarded. You should be asking..."they are willing to hurt themselves over a stupid bus only lane?"

Because in most places you just get fined by a cop who hides behind just like at the toll plaza on the Bay Bridge. You can see the cops hiding and waiting to nab people at the carpool lanes.

But you don't have a retarded pole popping up.

That's retarded.

Imagine if they had that for people who have Fastrak. My transponder has failed to go off at least twice so far and what do they do? They take a freaking picture of you so you either get fined for running the Fastrak lane or if you have Fastrak, they bill your account with teh toll amount since your transponder failed to work.

But imagine if Fastrak triggered the pole to go down. I bet you there would be pileups galore because I can guarantee there are transponder failures everyday.

No people aren't retarded for running in like that. I know people who run the carpool lane EVERY DAY on the Bay Bridge. Yes, you save $3 toll and even if you get caught twice a year you're breaking even still.

look at the fricking videos! when the bus comes close to the poles, the bus slowes down, waits for the poles to go down and then drives over

its stupid people who think that they can squeeze in between who deserve to crash their cars for being well... stupid

Last time I checked you can't really see in front of a bus when you're behind it. I don't think you can really see the pole at a toll plaza.

Yes it's stupid to cheat toll, but it's also stupid they have this retarded system here. Given how the bridges here are backed up as they are, do you realize how disastrous this would be for commuting traffic if 1/4 of the toll plazas have crashes like this everyday...

It proves to me that people don't pay attention to posted signs while driving.

There is no toll, this road is simply forbidden for traffic. Hence the two (big illuminated) "do not enter!" signs .

i have now come up with an equation for stupidity/retardedness. where y is how stupid they are

y=(size of brain in grams)x.798(how many years of school they went through)+(total income)-(how much they are in debt)

ENJOY!

The one d!ckhead about 70% into this video, in the black SUV thing almost smacked his vehicle's back end into a baby stroller. Could have turned an act of impatient stupidity into vehicular homicide.


Is there a punishment for those who do manage to successfully run through the things? I would hope so. A high fine could be a good deterrent, and it'd definitely be a revenue boost for the government - just another Stupid Tax.

And if this was the case, the company that is responsible for Fastrak (Fastrak Inc? never heard of this sort of thing, guess it's like Speedpass) would definitely put in some serious R&D to get their crappy technology to work properly. This country is far too tolerant of half-assed technology that only sort of works most of the time.

Why do the people hurry to get behind the buses then if they don't know that the poles are going to come up? They are doing it to try to beat the poles. Otherwise, why rush to get in behind the bus?
It'd be disastrous initially for the impatient and the stupid. Once people realize that they can't cheat the toll system, they'll slow the hell down and pay what they have to pay. Either that, or you pay for a new car as well as a fine.
I guess morons like this are why gambling establishments are doing so well. These people are willing to put at risk:
Cost of significant vehicle repairs or a new car + A fine
For a glorious return of, maybe a few dollars.
And in gambling, the house has the advantage. Anyone with at least a working axion, not even a full neuron, should be able to see that this is a really stupid gamble.

Here's another idea. How about obeying the freaking traffic laws.

HEY! If we wanted a rational idea, we'd ask for one!
