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?

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

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

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

3/7/22 8:23am

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Soul Rider

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