The proposed Driving Solo Enforcement Act of 2002 aims to close down car pool lanes and makes it illegal for more than one person to be in a car at a time.
Now that the recording industry has shut down file sharing services sush as Napster, car companies have realized that sharing is not in their best interests either. "After testimony was completed Representatives from Michigan introduced the Driving Solo Enforcement Act of 2002, which aims to curb ride sharing activities by making it illegal to have more than one person in a car at a time. The bill also attempts to stop government support of this activity by closing down car pool lanes. Persons caught sharing rides would be subject to a $2500 and up to 1 year in prison." [Humor]
