Carpool Lanes & Bank Greeters
(Preview)
It began with carpool lanes. I would sit on the highway near a major city and watch the cars in the car pool lane whizzing by. The problem is that eventually even the car pool lane gets bunched up. So why don't they just open the lane up to anyone and let us all get there just a little bit faster. Now the ba...
