established pursuant to Section 22349 or 22356 at a speed greater

(b) A person who drives a vehicle upon a highway at a speed
greater than 100 miles per hour is guilty of an infraction
punishable, as follows:
(1) Upon a first conviction of a violation of this subdivision, by
a fine of not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500). The court may
also suspend the privilege of the person to operate a motor vehicle
for a period not to exceed 30 days pursuant to Section 13200.5.
(2) Upon a conviction under this subdivision of an offense that
occurred within three years of a prior offense resulting in a

operate a motor vehicle shall be suspended by the Department of Motor

Vehicles pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 13355.
(c) A vehicle subject to Section 22406 shall be driven in a lane
designated pursuant to Section 21655, or if a lane has not been so
designated, in the right-hand lane for traffic or as close as
practicable to the right-hand edge or curb. When overtaking and
passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction, the driver
shall use either the designated lane, the lane to the immediate left
of the right-hand lane, or the right-hand lane for traffic as
permitted under this code. If, however, specific lane or lanes have
not been designated on a divided highway having four or more clearly
marked lanes for traffic in one direction, a vehicle may also be
driven in the lane to the immediate left of the right-hand lane,
unless otherwise prohibited under this code. This subdivision does
not apply to a driver who is preparing for a left- or right-hand turn
or who is in the process of entering into or exiting from a highway
or to a driver who is required necessarily to drive in a lane other
than the right-hand lane to continue on his or her intended route.

 

I guess we should tell you that trucks in CA are only allowed 55mph, no matter how fast the speed limit sign says.
Careful in OR and WA as well. That third lane is a killer!

 

Is that not "No Excuse"?

 

Meh....I run 62 out in open country.....As long as you don't weave....CHP will leave you alone...

 

Years ago when I was behind on a load to Sacramental, I ran 65 on CA99 and passed a parked CHP cruiser shooting radar and he didn't even flinch.

Now I just set the cruise to 58 and take a nap.

 

If I ran that slow....I'd fall asleep too.....

 

I've been running OS loads out to California all year and not once did they ever ask me to pull around back and show my permits. I don't know what you all are scared of unless you run junky equipment???

 

so, next time your empty speeding up a hill and a truck pulls in front of you. BITE THE BULLET MAN.[/QUOTE]

I couldn't say it any better. It happen's all the time to me on Cajon Pass I-15. Usually it's a "Prime" truck that does it to me. Im running at a good speed and the %$#& pull's out front of me. "I bite the bullet" and stay in my lane and I make sure he know's he's number 1(if you know what I mean) when I go by him after he moves back over.

 

Cali law, 3 lanes or less stay in right lane except to pass unless safty calls of course.

4 or more lanes, can ride in right two.

4th quarter watch it. They're out theire and writing them up.
