I really hope you're not saying what i think you are here

cue-ball, actually no i wasnt. i have no problems with good sumeritans (unless it prevents me from havin some phun in my car!
i was merely saying that if another driver tries going through the trouble of writing down the offending car's license number and/or car/driver description, that that person will have to do so at the expense of his road-going attention, as waiting for the next "opportune" time might mean forgetting some key information. you take out a piece of paper at that redline, and before you know it the light turns green... but of course you dont want to just sit there... that is illegal in itself, so you try to write and drive at the same time. you are now more likely to cause an accident than the original offending driver
and so on.
hey greekman, that HOV lan right before hwy-36 on i-25... i take that all the time... i check to make sure there are no cops in the hov lane from before the divider, and i speed down it a good 10-15 mph faster than the traffic adjacent to me... but i'm constantly scanning for a cop next to me... passing a cop while along in the hov lane would be bad... i think its a $100 fine.
but ive done that dozens of times... unless they have motorcycles like, just to the left of the HOV lane (which doesnt sound very safe) then im pretty much in the clear as there is no opening in the divider in that spot.
and in westminster, where they just opened up that hov lane right before the police station... funny i always see it as my best opportunity to speed... they couldnt possibly gun you and get on the highway fast enough to catch me... it would be several minutes before they caught up and then i could always argue they got the wrong guy. plus by the time i get into the hov lane (never immediately) the police station is out of site and there are no openings in the dividers for the motorcycles to sit. of course i'm always scanning the lanes to the right to see if there are any cops.
see what i mean about cops? if it werent for these gay "laws" i could devote 100% of my attention to the road instead of scanning for cops :P
now, heading northbound on hwy-36 right when you get on 36 from i-25... there is a lane on the left that comes from some other 36 entrance.... they pull people over all the time on that because its a double white line youd need to cross over to get on it. of course during rush hour you can do that 1/2 mile in 30 seconds whereas being stuck in traffic would take 5 minutes.
