Get over: Legislation would prevent driving in left lane
By Shelley Grieshop
A proposed law to prevent freeway drivers from dawdling in the left lane raises concerns for law enforcement.
House Bill 395 would prevent all vehicles on four-lane highways from traveling in the left-hand lane unless they are passing another vehicle, exiting the freeway, allowing others to enter on the right or maneuvering for safety. The goal is to remove slower drivers from the left lane so faster vehicles aren't forced to pass them on the right. [More]
