Here’s the real question now that you have revealed this

When you see that people overwhelmingly oppose your approach, do you acknowledge that while it isn’t against the law, it is generally annoying and offensive to your fellow men? And in acknowledging that, do you change behavior?

Or are you a stubborn plague on society?

Another pet peeve, clowns who camp in the passing lane on the left

A word of advice, accept it you can’t change their world.

How much over the posted limit are you trying to drive?

It's more about flow of traffic

This does not matter. It is not a driving lane. It is a passing lane.

Not gonna lie, I camp in the carpool lane going the speed limit because it is the safest place where nobody is merging

WRONG WRONG WRONG. It is against the law.

crimedog

NO IT'S NOT!

doctorcoug

so the signs stating that slower traffic move right is just a suggestion?

doctorcoug

I see your point. But you’re doing it it irritate others.

3/6/22 9:30pm

Yep and adding to danger on the freeway

Soul Rider

3/6/22 9:31pm

I don't care if it irritates others. I'm going the speed limit and it is a safer place to be for me.

But not for all the cars piling up behind you having to go around you

That doesn't happen as bad as you think, and people make poor choices at their own peril. I'm not breaking the law

Yes, but in order to get over there, you had to speed at some point only to

I stand by my statement...carpool lane is NOT left general purpose lane

Utah Law disagrees with you. S.B. 52, signed into law on March 15, 2002, specifically amends existing law regarding the

Now, given this was 2002, I haven't found out if THIS law has since been amended. I've looked, but so far haven't found

BlueBlood94

3/7/22 8:23am

It used to be that way, however, HOV is exempted for 41-6a-704

Spindash

That was my main question, as in my OP, given in 2002 we hadn't adopted double white lines yet.

BlueBlood94

3/7/22 11:55am

How does one stay in the HOV lane and yield to those that want to pass? Seems like you will break the law either way.

doctorcoug

3/7/22 11:37am

When you come to the first spot you can exit the hov lane use your blinker

crimedog

3/7/22 1:22pm

I can do that, let one or two pass, but I'm going back in, and as shown below, I am not breaking the law

doctorcoug

3/7/22 1:56pm

Is it legal? Yes. Will it annoy a lot of people? Also yes. Just get comfortable

Glad you are a letter of the law instead of the Sprit of the law guy.

Looks like you've been wrong for a long time doctorcoug per the 2002 law

Read the law. Carpool lane is NOT the left general purpose lane.

It actually is.

No, it isn't illegal to camp in the carpool lane. Read those last 2 words carefully

doctorcoug

Ok fine. I still despise it.

cruiserhead

3/6/22 9:40pm

What is your response to the 2002 law saying you need to move from HOV lane?

Soul Rider

3/7/22 8:30am

The carpool lane isn’t the super fast passing lane. It’s the carpool lane.

Then drivers have to use the middle lane to pass you

Remember tho not all states are the same. Where I live, you can go in and out of the carpool lane whenever you want.
