Although the number of car-sharing enthusiasts has continued to grow over the years, the practice still eludes many motorists. There are many of them who prefer to be alone in the car to go to work or return. In particular, that is why the government decided to set a compensation of up to 200 euros to encourage the French to this practice. While some played the game, others found ways to make money without following the rules thanks to an amazing loophole.

Smart system
In Normandy, the metropole of Rouen has decided to reward carpool drivers between €2 and €4 per passenger. To do this, users must use an app like Klaxit, which identifies each person. Unless some smart people decided to bypass the system. This is the case of a student who started the app during every trip. Except there was no one in the passenger seat but another phone. Thus, Klaxit believes thatthere are really two passengers in the car, which allows the driver to receive compensation.
Lots of drifts
But that’s not all, because some students also had an ideaturn on their app on the bus. Enough to allow some to earn a few tens of euros without playing the game. If Metropolis banned the use of Klaxit within a radius of 400 meters around bus lines and subways, that should have been enough to stop this problem. Because it is very difficult to detect.
