CHP Ticket on Northbound 101 Nov 2008 / Palo Alto. I received a ticket for passing a Prius in the Carpool lane using the inside shoulder. The ticket was issued for crossing the center divide line (solid yellow) and for nothing else. I was pulled over by a CHP officer who showed up from my left...

740 AM Friday 1.30.09 From the bottom of my heart, big "thanks" to the guy on the BMW motorcycle who was behind me and thanks a lot to the guy driving the Dent Wizard truck who stopped to check on how my crash was. It was smooth and uneventful. I tried getting up but didn't realize i was still...
