I got a third lane violation while avoiding an accident near youngstown on I80 last year. Little town of Newton Falls was as bad as the misinformed trooper. Ended up settling for a tail light ticket....they still got their revenue and I avoided the moving violation

Little update, I have contacted an attorney and I should know a lot more about how things will turn out in a few days.
123456 Thanks this. -
Update, I have learned two lessons over the last couple months. One, when in doubt, stay outta the left lane in Indianapolis. Two, fight your tickets no matter how bleak people say your chances are.
I hired an attorney and I will be paying for a seat belt violation. The moving violation will stay off my record, third lane ticket is gone.
Thank all of you for your advice and concern.Diesel Dave and 123456 Thank this. -
The 3rd lane laws are a bunch of shenanigans IMO. Why can't I pass other vehicles in that lane going slower than me, when that is the purpose of creating multiple lane highways? I can see the law meant for trucks that linger in that lane, but I'm taking it if I need to pass someone.

If they want to race I guess it's up to them to find a lane without a truck in it but it sure as hell isn't my job to get out of their way.
Diesel Dave Thanks this. -

As long as there are rude, stupid truckers that'll hog the left lane for their own convenience if they let us use it, You'll never convince certain states to let us use it.
I don't see us getting any closer to getting rid of rude, stupid truckers right now...Do you?THBatMan8 Thanks this. -
I just wanna know if we can't use the lane, do we get to pay less road tax? I'll settle for 2/3 of the rate if I can only use 2/3 of the road!

Most of the states that I have lived in all wanted trucks to stay in the right 2 lanes when there are 3-4 lanes available. Unless you must navigate for an exit.
