I have always felt it should be 'Two or more LICENSED persons per vehicle". The idea is to remove cars from the road for the HOV lanes. Kiddie poolers are not removing cars, they are just giving them VIP access. Remove extra drivers by sharing is the intent. Make it so!

This finally helps prove that I was right. I threw a test in high school when the computer teacher decided that his mainframe and cobol approach was the best.

He said if I could pass his end-of-year test he would give me the permission to start coding in C++ (I already had Borland C++ at home and was WAY past all this). He was a complete dick about it. Mr. Crow. He can eat it now.

I threw the test and intended to get a perfect 0%. One question that came up is what was the first operating system for the IBM computer system. It was PC-DOS because that's the contracted name. MS-DOS was the name for the generic Intel based system. I knew the answer.

His answer sheet was WRONG. So I got 1 out of 40 questions right. I could have scored a 100% but I hated him as a teacher so much.

His words were "You will never be anything in computers unless you can pass my class". Three letters to prove him wrong: CTO.
