I got two thumbs up as people passes and I got one complaint at a stop. The complaint was for using the shoulder to slow down on, US2 is a busy road and I did not want to slow traffic down as I coasted the .6 of a mile to my turn off, shoulder is over a lain wide so I let 6 cars go by as I slowed down.
Driving on the roadway shoulder (using it as a lane of travel) is illegal in most (maybe all?) states.

It may seem clever and be fuel efficient, but what if everyone tried to do the same? Right now you are enjoying an advantage that is exclusively yours. Be sure to tell the cop what a good idea it was as he writes you the ticket.
