    Jerkwads cut me off and boxed me out in 70 mph traffic where it wasnt safe to back down enough to get over to the right lane ?

    Not sure i would beleive that myself though

    1000$ to 2000$ cash?

    If your "lucky" enough to get the corrupt guy? But at that point the ticket would probably be cheaper

    Probably get as big a ticket as a cdl driver holding a phone, while truck is in motion? Asking for a friend.

    Unless it is the really corrupt guy that takes the cash and then hands you the ticket anyway, just to teach you a lesson.

    Would, “my GPS told me to go that way” work?

    Seriously though, not all express lanes restrict trucks.
