Why do so many Trucks drive in the middle Lane?

Sterilization of low IQ individuals would be more effective.

 

This Wikipedia map makes the patchwork of laws easier to understand, unfortunately it cannot reduce the frustrations of being stuck behind the turtle races.

 

Thanks but each state's Congress makes their respective laws, not AAA.

 

I found that particularly interesting considering Utah's literal law states differently.

Utah Code Section 41-6a-710

 

I wouldn't trust anything Wikipedia puts out since literally anyone can put anything they want on there. I've seen tons of data contested due to lack of reputable sources and flat out false information. In fact, this is another case it seems. They have Utah as purple but the link to the actual law I posted above says differently. Maybe I'm missing something?

 

And only about five have chosen to choose the "all the way right" law.

But as the old NCUTLO group, (which most states got their laws from), died due to the rise of the internet, AAA is a voting member of NCUTCD. Which does the same templating that most states copy these days. Note that AASHTO, which controls CDL teaching is also a voting member of the NCUTCD.

But yes things do change and I assume Utah suggested the middle lane due to the old collector system their freeways use to use before the olympics gave them the budget to tear it down and use the more typical bridge spaghetti model that I don't know what is called.

But as the risks of getting an actual ticket for even blocking the far left lane is small I doubt that there is little incentive for people to get out of the middle lane in those handful of states that require it by law.

 

Are you talking about the "On a roadway divided into three or more lanes and providing for two-way movement of traffic" part?

That is a center turning lane and not a highway/freeway with three or more lanes in one way. Note the "providing for two-way movement" part.

 

Depends. If there is heavy traffic, it's better to be in the middle lane. If there is little to no traffic in the night time, it's probably a #######. Pass on the right or in the truck restricted left lane.

I see it no other way.

 

I need to get back into this thread. I will use all CAPS..... ok....Most Interstates are 2 LANES until you go thru a CITY..... large or small. IF.....and I emphasize IF....You are approaching a City.......LARGE or small....are you still with me???.......OK!! There are 3 lanes for a reason. The RIGHT LANE is a MERGE LANE.... on or off. There is traffic merging on/ off of the FREEWAY or WHATEVER Highway you are on. I Don't know how to explain this. Stay in the lane JUST TO THE LEFT of the MERGE LANE If you are passing through the said City or Town. Do not be the driver that runs 4 wheelers into " the ditch" .He/she/them/they is an ####@#@ and deserves to have his ###'beat to a pulp. Did ANYBODY actually pass the CDL Exam by knowing the ACTUAL Answers???

 

Sure. I'm from the south. I wave to almost everyone who passes me or who I pass. I get a kick out of how many CMV drivers pass me and are holding a phone texting and driving.
