Six wheels on the truck are six wheels. Ten wheels on the truck are ten wheels. If you have six wheels on the truck, I would think it would be legal to use the six-wheel-or-less lanes. Do I know this conclusively? No, but if an officer of the law disagrees and cites you, I do not believe it would be hard to prove in court that six wheels are six wheels.
What I wonder is, what real difference does it make? We have driven through Atlanta many times with ten wheels and never once found ourselves longing to drive in the six-wheel lanes. How is it an advantage?
And about that 55 mph in California thing, TeamCaffe is not alone. Diane and I never drive faster than 55 mph there.
