Meet the asshole who passes bikes in the HOV lane

[Homeslice]

HOV lanes are big out here.......And when someone uses them, it's to pass congested traffic. Not very many people use it to "kick back" and enjoy some peace & quiet.

If traffic isn't congested, and you have no desire to go faster than them, stay in the regular lanes. Just because your vehicle may be HOV-eligible doesn't mean you have to USE the HOV lane.

Oh, and here in Cali, lane-splitting is legal, so bikes often pass other HOV users.

In New York, its not for "passing".
Its to park your ass with a few other people and drive at a steady rate of speed.

And since the HOV lane is restricted-access, one slow guy fucks it up for everyone else.

In the case of the harley guy, there was no slow guy.
