Is it immoral to drive in the carpool lane w/out any passenger?  Or just illegal?

LMAO!!! That $2.81 qualification, is hilarious!!! Please, it's sooo not immoral, "just" illegal.  I say if you're bold enough to get over there and get your solitary carpool on, go for it.  LOL It's not going to bother me in the slightest if I'm in the carpool lane legally - do your thing if you don't mind the points on your license and the exorbitant fees!!! And you know if you get caught twice and/or three times, the penalties and fees get steeper and steeper, and the points on your license add up to higher car insurance rates... so you might want to recalculate that $2.81.  *shrug* Just a thought.

Bad drivers! I recently read in our local paper ( which is extremely local) that the HWY Patrol pulled over a motorist for ......get this this.....reading a book while driving on the Freeway! OMG!!

This is illegal under the Drivers Privacy Protection Act (DPPA).\n\nWould you want somebody to be able to find information on you via this approach?

it depends upon what state u r in ...... some states promote sale of Hybrids by allowing them on HOV lanes with one passenger while others dont ..... u will have to check with ur local DPS

Neither is ok. I hope you aren't drinking then driving because you think this is acceptable behavior. Check your ethics here, I think you are mixed up.  Smoking only really kills the driver, is dirty to our streets, is litter, causes bad smells, and kills from a distance with the mil age at zero. A car with a drunk driver kills big time.

I think that if people followed the rules, it would be fine, even if there were speeders. There are usually four lanes of traffic on city streets and interstates. The right lane, called the driving lane, is for that, driving. The left lane, called the passing lane, is for passing slower moving cars in the right lane. Now, if pawpaw would stay in the right lane all the time, only getting out of it to get in the turning lane, the slower affic would be in one lane, the faster traffic in the other. It would be great. If you need any proof, look at the Autobahn in Germany.

No. You don't have a valid driver's license and aren't allowed to drive anywhere.\n\nBest wishes and God bless.

No it isn't.They will stop you for it though because as mentioned it affects your vision outside the car.\nI was stopped by a hiway patrol because he said I traveled to far in the inside lane on the hiway and that my wife had the interior light on for reading which was illegal.\nI beat both tickets in court because neither one was considered illegal by the Dept.of Rev.

If you are talking about a parking lot, then yes.  During a ride along, we issued 2 tickets to those who parked in a handicapped space without any permit.  It can be a pretty costly mistake.

Dude, don't drive, ok?

You are kidding?  That is against the law to do in any state. If someone was caught doing that, they would risk losing their license. You would be in trouble too.\n\nNo such thing as a free lunch. Study and go to school like everyone else.

On both counts. Take the number and report them. The police aren't angels to be there all the time. It's up to responsible road users to do a certain amount.\n\nI know one report won't do a lot but a tailgater is likely to do it more than once and one day he'll cause an accident.\n\nI have to say that, though I think this is the proper thing to do, I have never done it (either reporting or tailgating!).\n\nMost tailgaters are just a nuisance - that's what they intend to be - so to respond to their rudeness at all just feeds their aggressiveness. I would certainly note their number if they were obviously putting lives at risk, though.\n\nAs for mobiles ... a friend of mine passed a car that was driving erratically. It was a people carrier with three small kids inside. The mother was driving at 65-70, had a mobile on her shoulder and was checking her makeup in the rear-view mirror!!! I have many times encountered similar (though not quite as multitasking as that). The worst offenders, though, seem to be tradesmen, who live on their mobiles. The kind who plonk their phone on the bar in the pub and get 3 calls in half an hour - none of them about work - which they answer as if there was something wrong with the reception. Grrrr!

Sounds pretty serious and yes, he will be charged w/DUI the other people could sue his insurance and should as they may not be able to work for some time. \nDrinking and driving is so wrong when you can call someone or a cab to take you home. \nSorry to hear your friends are hurt since this is all preventable.

If you stopped in a lane that was not a turn lane then it is your fault. You cant just stop in the middle of traffic because you cant get over. Still though, you can argue with the insurance company and perhaps convince them. Doubt it.

They're just stupid idiots who deserve any accident they might have. The only problem is if they hit someone else. There are rules against driving while talking, and I think there is no reason whatsoever to break those rules. If you want to talk or your phone is ringing, then pull over, talk as much as you please and then drive on. It couldn't be any simpler!
