Answer 10

The carpool lane is subject by the same speed limits as the rest of the freeway... (But in California I've noticed people generally ignore them and drive as fast as traffic allows.) The only difference is the number of people of the car.. Some require 2 or more people... Some require 3 or more people... But what people miss is there are some that you can even drive in alone because they have time rules... Some carpool lanes say 2 or more people only between for example 6 and 10 a.m. and 2 and 7 p.m.  The rest of the time anyone can drive in them.. Even a person alone... They best key is to watch the signs for the freeway that you are currently on, and read the fine print at the bottom of the signs... Always read the fine print on anything that can get you into trouble.. ;)
