Stats show there are plenty of carpool-lane cheaters

Q. Honk: A few weeks ago you talked about carpool-lane cheaters. The worse section I know of is on the southbound 55 Freeway in the morning, from Chapman Avenue in Orange to Edinger Avenue at the Santa Ana-Tustin border. I would guess that 48% of those in the carpool lane there are cheaters.

A. Awhile back Honk mentioned that Caltrans estimated there are stretches in Orange County where 30% of the drivers are illegally in carpool lanes – they carry no passenge
