If they'd look at I-5, between the Lynnwood Park & Ride and downtown Seattle, they'd find hundreds of distracted motorists using their smartphones while violating the HOV lane restrictions, thinking they are hidden behind their illegally-tinted windows.

If the Washington State Patrol troopers aren't finding violators and unsafe drivers during peak commute times, they need to remove their blinders and to actually start writing tickets.

Not writing tickets because you're lazy and then proclaiming the problem has been solved because you aren't writing tickets doesn't solve the problem.
