Fast Lane For Sale

I have been hearing rumors the last few months of our lovely lawmakers contemplating selling passes for the carpool lane to commuters. Well now it has become a reality. How greedy can we get. Starting in August you can purchase a "HOV Pass" for $50 a month that is good from North Salt Lake to Orem, which is the extent of the carpool lane I believe. The state is still a little leery though as they are only offering 600 passes to start. I want to buy a get away with speeding pass, why don't they offer that?

How do they enforce if you have a pass or not?

The state is going to assign two UHP cars to enforce the HOV lanes. I guess there will be a sticker for the front and back windshield that changes color every month. Thay are also re-striping the lanes so that you can only go in and out of them every so often.
