HB759 is the stupidest idea ever. Besides being unforceable, allowing all the military in to the HOV lanes regardless of the number of riders is a recipe for disaster. Just look at how MANY accidents happen in the HOV lanes before 6AM when they are open to everyone. Half the time the HOV lanes are closed because so many people try to cram into it becfore the time they switch to HOV-2. In the morning hours, with 3 entry points to enter the HOV and only 1 to exit to the Navy Base there's always a bottleneck when exiting which inevitably causes an accident.
