Now that something like a quarter of car sales in BC are EVs, I am starting to think their privileged access to HOV lanes is no longer a sustainable concession. There are just so many that the priority should shift back away from single occupancy vehicles.
Alternatively, we could keep the allowance, but add a second HOV lane, leaving gas vehicles to whatever’s left on the highway. But that probably be unpopular. 😀
Who in government would I write to express this opinion? MP or MLA?
I’d like to see properly implemented bike lanes everywhere first. I’d be more inclined if I knew drivers of several thousand pound vehicles had extremely low chances of clipping and killing me while they’re distracted. Good for the body and the environment.
