I’ve noticed this as well. Last week I was stuck behind a car keeping time with traffic on the #1 - except he was in the carpool lane with nobody in front of him for as far as the eye could see.
At first I was thinking he forgot his new driver “N” sticker but now I think it was a stoned driver trying to blend in and be inconspicuous. Nevermind that the speed limit is 90 and he was going 60.
I was tempted to pass on the left in the emergency lane, but yeah, that’s just too dangerous on a bike in December.
