I was in line for a toll bridge and a sign ahead said Wide Vehicles Use Right lane. Being in a widebody I signalled right.
Being a truck driver with over 2 million miles, that sign was not for you. A "Wide Vehicle" sign refers to a vehicle/load that is OVERWIDTH. Over the legal width limit of 102", running with an over width permit.
You had a wide body, which means it is 102", instead of the old 96" limit
You do not have to obey "wide vehicle" signs, as you are NOT a "wide vehicle" or a "wide load".
There was nothing wrong about moving over, but you did not need to.
