Yay, Virginia

Driving slow in the left lane to be punished with $250 fine:
The bill, set for approval in Virginia’s House of Delegates after it advanced Monday to a final vote, would make a violation a $250 fine.
“Simply put, a penalty behind it that shows that we understand the seriousness of this problem and that we’re going to be serious about actually enforcing it,” said Del. Israel O’Quinn, a Republican who represents Washington County.
...
O’Quinn said Monday the change would address “a particularly pervasive and ever-growing problem” of cars going “grossly under the speed limit in the left lane.” He hoped the new penalty could encourage more drivers to move over and cut down on road rage from drivers who come up behind slowpokes.
Now if we can get Maryland ...

  1. I don't want to "look to closely at a gift horse " but why do I get the feeling that this has more to do with the Moblie Revenue Enforcers wanting to clear the left lane so that they have more "fish in the Barrel". They are getting tired of seeing long lines of fast cars behind a Prius in the left lane all go 60mph

  3. Let me know when they start enforcing it against 18-wheelers. "Let's see, speed limit is 70, I'm going 61, ole Rubber Duck in front of me is going 60.5, and we're heading into a two-mile upgrade. Yup, time to pull out to pass!" HOOONNNNNK
