Its not ok to break the laws set down anywhere and I don't condone their way of operation but it works for them so yes its illegal and no I don't think its right to break laws on the road. I have no clue why they don't get arrested. I road with them once and was just amazed what they got away with and had no trouble with the police. If I was a cop and saw that, they would all have tickets for illegally blocking traffic, running a stop sign and or stop light.
