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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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