    Now here’s a guy you have to admire for thinking “out of the box” and making up to $300 a day just by renting himself out to ride in the carpool lane and help drivers save time when traffic is bad.

    That looks like a pretty cool idea. It can also be a great way to save gas to.

    If he's a danger to motorists (standing too close to the road or in a place where cars that want to pick him up can't do so) he could get charged by the police. They might also view it as hitchhiking and that may be against the law in his city or state.

    That's clever. :D Well, money is just put there and it isn't hard to get if you have bright ideas. :)

    I dont how much of that is reality but here is why it impossible or not feasible...

    First there can be lot of legal problems

    2nd during rush hours one way suffers while other side of the free way is always almost free with very few cars. Normally it works like during morning time traffic to the downtown suffers while traffic from downtown is free and opposite happens in the evening or afternoon. Same if some accident occurs it is very rare for accident to occur at both sides at one time so it is not possible to carpool from both sides at one time...

    That doesnt make sense to me
