'Greens' Claim Birmingham's HOV Lane Set Up to Fail

BBC Midlands evening news, October 7th: There was a report about the 'Green' Party claiming that the HOV lane trial had been deliberately set up to fail - because the experiment only operates in a morning, and there is no enforcement - only one driver fined so far! Funnily enough, the police just happended to be enforcing it when the BBC were filming! The 'green' spokesman, who literally looked 16 and not old enough to drive, complained that there wasn't enough 'incentive' to car share. No drivers group was invited to opine! Filming showed an empty HOV lane and cars rammed into the right hand lane - another stupid reduction in road capacity!
