A few days ago, I lost one of my HOV stickers.
The left sticker was kinda coming off, so I applied some glue before a long road trip to Arizona. When I returned, the sticker was gone. I suspect since it was starting to come off already, fast driving in windy conditions might have ripped it off completely at some point during my trip.
Now, I know I need to apply for the entire set as a replacement. But the instructions ask me to return the undamaged stickers along with the application. It also says they will wait 30 days before sending the replacement. This probably means I have to go without the stickers for two months. I use the HOV lane to work every single day, and two months is going to be a very long inconvenience.
Anyone have any ideas about what I can do to reduce the inconvenience?
I considered sending the application without the remaining two stickers saying I lost all three, and keep driving with the old stickers taking the risk. But I need to write a detailed explanation on how I lost the stickers in the application, and I am afraid they will be suspicious if I say I lost all three at once.
