ABC15 sat just off to the side of State Route 143 during rush hour where there is not a lot of rushing going on.
That is for the people following the rules.
But, the Operation Safe Roads team saw car, after car, after car making up their own route as they approach the I-10.
In just two days of surveillance, we counted well over 60 cars who cut through the shoulder.
There is a law against this exact behavior with Arizona State Statute 28-721 which says you cannot drive on the shoulder in "overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction."
The Department of Public Safety also calls this type of driving "aggressive."
