I gess that it's the right side looking at the car in the front and looking at the car in the rear. So the cops can spot you easy.

You must be right - but I always think of the right side of the car as the right side from the driver's seat. It makes no sense to say the driver is on the right side of the car from the front point of view. Then you could take any point of view. For example, from the driver's side view, you could say that the right end of the car is the rear, and from the passenger's side the right side would be the front.

Actually, it makes a little more sense. It says place the sticker on the right side of the from and rear bumpers, not the car. So yes, if you place the sticker on the right side of the front bumper, it winds up on the left front corner of the car. Got it?

As it was quote in previous posts, when we see another Cousing Prius, lets do " the wave" and show our nice manners.
Yes, I saw a handful of different Priuses in the SS Pkwy by the time of my daily commute, and very frequently I see a Millenium Silver with a pretty female driver

When does the sticker / HOV access expire? Any set date?

According to state officials there is no deadline - they will review the usage and impact (not that there are 1000's of Prius and Civic and Insight vehicles on the road) over time and make decisions in the future.

I actually drove in the HOV lane yesterday (by myself with stickers in place) and noted something interesting when I passed a police car. I believe in the past when I observed police waiting to catch HOV violators they would usually be sitting in the car and observing while now that they have to be able to see the stickers on CLEAN cars they are standing outside their vehicle and staring at the oncoming traffic. He didn't even blink as I passed. Good thing they chose the beginning of spring to introduce the stickers!!
