Why are trucks driving in the inside/high speed and HOV lanes?

Well ... you picked the right username.

BTW, I use the hammer lane in Phoenix for one simple reason ... I can!

But I'm definately not holding up traffic. At least not until I see the cameras.

 

darn I got censured I guess I would have been put in front of the firing squad if I would have said what I really was thinking,

guess i gotta work on my diplomacy skills.

 

Naw, just flaming arrows, LOL

 

This old retired federal DOT official wonders how anyone can safely drive down any highway while videotaping? That's no different that using a cell phone. You're not concentrating on the specific issue at hand. It tends to make one an unsafe driver and no different than reading a newspaper, magazine, some other document, or fixing one's hair in the rear-view mirror while drinking coffee and steering with one's knees which we've all seen driving down highways looking down at 4-wheelers.

 

Umm.... I have been known to visit the Hammer Lane from time to time. Am sure that I was not holding up traffic as well.

I try not to get too worked up by the pups in the Hammer doing their best impression of a Big Dog at 1.5 mph faster then the truck they are trying to pass.

 

Their is no such thing as a hammer lane only a speed limit!

 

Uh nope there is a hammer lane it the one that also sports the sign that says "trucks will be fined for using left lane". Spend a good deal of time in the hammer lane or the lane some states wish I wouldn't use. If I'm in that lane you can rest assure I'm not holding anyone up, it's usually a 4 wheeler that not going fast enough for me.

 

The guy is only 20 and not a driver. He probably never seen a hammer in a lane before....

 

Good point.....should have paid better attention

 

He for sure doesn't know which lane is the Monfort lane .
