When on Two Wheels, HOV lane
Posted in What? on May 31st, 2006I don’t work the normal business/offices hours, but sometimes I go home during peak commute hours (3pm – 7pm). When I ride my motorcycle, it is just a joy to whiz past all the other traffic, usually above the ‘Maximum Allowed’ speed. And, the only real danger is when someone doesn’t calculate the speed of the lane’s users. But, most of the time, traffic flows so well, I try to leave when the car pool lane (aka “HOV lane”) use is enforced. I hate driving my car and driving home during that period (duh!).
I plan to shoot a video focusing on the traffic I’m passing (rear looking shot). That should be interesting.
BTW, I was doing about 70 MPH in the HOV lane until I caught up to a Prius driver that just ‘cruised’ the lane while traffic ahead left us behind. I could have split lanes, but at that speed (compare 70 MPH and ZERO!) it could be my death.
