Rob Bliss wants you to pay $5 to use his priority access lane.
If you drive past the FCC's office building on 12th Street in Washington, D.C., you'll either have to pay Bliss to use the "fast lane" or get behind his very slow bike.
Bliss created the fast lane to protest the FCC's recent repeal of net neutrality -- right outside of the FCC headquarters. Quoting FCC chairman Ajit Pai himself, Bliss said "consumers can pick the plan that's right for them."
When stopped by police officers, he insisted that paying for a priority package made perfect sense.
"I'm trying to restore automotive freedom," Bliss told a cop who stopped him, "It's a good deal."
Ultimately, the stunt wasted the time of commuters and police, and it's unclear if anyone from the FCC was affected, but Bliss proved his point.
