Not a car or truck on it for miles. Oh, they might see the occasional Prius, or maybe a Chevy Volt packed with enviro-friendly carpooling passengers. But other than that, nothing but the occasional empty potato chip bag blowing down the highway or an empty Budweiser can bouncing along the pavement. No cars. No trucks. No motorcycles. So why don't the gridlocked L.A. drivers know enough to move to the left and get into that empty lane, beating the traffic congestion and unlocking the gridlock?https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_hov_lane_empty.jpg
