Left Lane Karma On The NJ Turnpike!

I hope trying to save that one minute was worth it!!! Lol

[@brianbuddy2ACP]

To everyone saying "But he was passing, he wasn't being a lane hog", that wasn't the reason. In New Jersey (as well as numerous other states, and Candian provinces too, I'm sure), big rigs are banned from the leftmost lane on freeways with 3 lanes in one direction. So ultimately, he wasn't pulled over for being a lane hog, he was pulled over because he was in the lane illegally.

[@c5cpe]

When traveling, how would one know, until it’s too late?

[@koolerstream921]

@@c5cpe When trucks are not allowed in a lane, there are clearly posted signs often throughout. When the lane restriction ends, there will be another sign saying "END truck lane restriction" or something similar. The annoying part is, half the truckers on the road just sit in the middle lane even if they are not passing anyone, and then as a trucker you are either forced to go at the speed they are going which is annoying if you can go faster, pass on the right which is usually not legal, or pass on the left which is usually not legal. Middle lane hogs make it rough out there. In this video however, the cam truck was passing, and I assume they would have moved over to the right once passed the slower right lane truck. Can't be sure though, the speedy truck in the left lane didn't wait to find out!

This is a speeding stop.. this side of the turnpike is mandated for all tractor trailers (notice the car side on other side of guard rails), however it does suck when an asshole trucker clogs the highway especially on 2 lane highways..

Since the left part of the turnpike is “cars only”, the right side should be trucks only. I was blocked by 2 cars going the same speed, when there were 2 more lanes they could have been sitting in. ( the further north, there are 4 “truck” lanes).

Even if it's illegal for the white truck to be in the left lane, you should have eased off a little to avoid a three wide with the red truck.

You are incorrect. This stretch of the NJTPK has 3 lanes for cars only, and 3 lanes for "trucks, busses, AND CARS. The latter 3 lanes have signage all along the highway saying "no trucks, busses or trailers in left lane".

The only thing I saw wrong was the trooper pulling over in front of him. His emergency lights need to be seen from vehicles in the traffic lanes

[@koolerstream921]

cops like to use the trailer as their blockade so they don't get hit, which is understandable. So long as the trucker pulls far enough to the right and the trooper stays slightly left, you can still see their lights very clearly

I thought he was making a conservative and appropriate pass. At under 45 seconds he was a couple hundred yards past and moving into his new lane. This cop could use better judgment when screwing with Truckers lives in places like Ohio. There's the Tale of the Foreign Trucker in the far right lane doing 75 with stopped traffic, while reading a text message. I dove for the center cable stays as a dozen car's and SUVs took flight East of Columbus Ohio. 20 minutes later no on had interviewed the very dark skinned Foreigner. When I was ignored, I put my Explorer in reverse and slipped away from the idiots responding. WE 4 wheelers had completed rescue when the OSP poked on in. still no ambulances. I am 16 years Medical Practitioner feeling the whole thing like a bunch of crap without an ER, due to unqualified Foreign truckers and ODOT and COPS like that ...

This place is frustrating because someone is always hogging up the middle lane so you follow for miles and miles or take a chance and pass for 30 seconds and look back and he fades in your mirror. BTW It is not three lanes it is SIX and trucks are limited to TWO of them. The left three are no trucks at all. This place needs rethinking.

This is the NJ turnpike. The left lane is carpool/passing lane and trucks are 100% not allowed in it. The reason is exactly what you see here, 3 semis holding hands blocking every lane while cars back up for miles. You can't go a 1/4 mile without seeing one or two "no trucks in left lane" signs.
