I've driven the Ohio pike for a while now and yes, I see the signs that say "trucks and slower traffic use right 2 lanes", but are we prohibited from being in that lane? In many states, signs are posted "left lane no trucks", or something of that nature. A few days ago I was stuck behind a Prime and Western Express going 62-63 side by side, so I took the left lane and went around them. As soon as I got halfway past, I noticed a trooper in the median. I never got stopped and was rocking about 73 in the left lane. Before I get too over-confident, has anyone been dinged for a left lane violation?

They can and will ticket you. Sometimes not if they see you complete it quick. Some officers will write the ticket no matter your reason.
Just depends.MACK E-6, Dave1837, singlescrewshaker and 3 others Thank this. -
I run the ohtp alot and have never been dinged for it such as moving over for traffic merging from a service plaza .
But I have the ability to rock and roll and take care of business quik .Dave1837, singlescrewshaker, wore out and 3 others Thank this. -
I worked out there for some years.
One bit of advise. If they have a reason to ticket you in the third lane. Ie speed or crash. Your getting two tickets. You will get a third lane violation plus original offense.MACK E-6, Dave1837, singlescrewshaker and 3 others Thank this. -
