"consumer protection mechanisms that benefit all of us"

If it's all about consumer protection why doesn't the Virginia DMV do something about all the sluglines throughout Virginia and DC. Sluglines are the practice of one stranger giving one or more other strangers a ride so that the car can get on the HOV.

Are those slugline cars safe? Are the drivers safe? Have they received proper training?

Maybe, maybe not. But they don't disrupt the powers that be

Here's a Virginia DMV page with a link to a slugline page:
