We're all for Pride in California, but this is going too far. It's time to end the madness.
This is fast becoming a management nightmare.
There are no less than five different HOV stickers with different colors, and they all require that you place four stickers on your car, front & back.
The "normal" color-coded registration stickers that you place on the corners of your license plate are tiny, just 0.5x1.5in and I would argue that serve a more important purpose (verifying you're driving a registered/inspected vehicle) than carpool abuse.
It's almost as if there are two separate bureaucracies in the state - one that wants to encourage EVs and created the HOV lane incentive, and a second that wants to discourage EVs by making it so cumbersome (file a snailmail form, wait >1month, apply multiple stickers that expire, un-expire, etc.).
Why can't you just have special license plate number / suffix / sticker / color?
Is there a process to file a complaint about this?
