Does this sticker have security features built into it? What's stopping people from creating copies of this sticker just so they can use the HOV lane?

maybe if you bought one from the US and brought it over, or for tourists coming up across the border from WA state to visit? i dunno...

my assumption is that whatever law enforcement that monitors HOV lane usage will have the list above to identify qualifying vehicles.... ie. slapping this sticker on your Hummer ain't going to work :p

I agree. But, someone's going to try it just like those that got caught with sex dummies in the passenger seat. :whistle:
