I remember when the State Patrol announced this a few months ago. I have seen no enforcement, no change whatsoever. I have lost track of how many times since this announcement that I have passed freeway speed traps, with someone within my view either left lane cruising or clearly holding up traffic. Never once have I seen a trooper pull out to stop them.
I've reached the point where I simply pass them on the right and just don't get worked up about it anymore. If that is not possible, I'm not above using the carpool lane to pass them. I'm waiting for the day I get stopped for that, so I can ask the trooper why in the hell he didn't stop the idiot holding up traffic, per their "emphasis" patrol.
This is a
huge problem on our nation's freeways. I just cannot understand why it is not addressed.
