july 1 those, impeding traffic in the left lane on three land highways, will be fined 50.00.doesn't matter about speed limit, if you are impeding traffic, other vehicles behind you to back up or stopping someone going faster to slow down etc they will be fined.won't do much about two lane highways, like yesterday a jeep, going up the mountain was staying at about 45, when the speed limit was 55, and traffic was moving faster than that.flashed lights and she ht the rakes trying to cause an accident.semis in right lane doing about 30.she passed them and we were clear and tried to go around, she hit the gas and went bck down to 45 when she approcahed the corner of another semi in the right lane.she would not get over. got past her and she she shot us the finger. how dare we. it was her lane and she was enforcing her speed limit.

Finally! Now is they will only enforce it! You can never find an officer when you want one, but they will find you when you don't want them. For what its worth, I live in Tennessee, and in general we have some very fine officers on the Highway Patrol. However, there are a few really nasty ones out there also. They give a bad name to the entire force.

yet another unenforceable law.PA has had on the books for many years a law that requires one to stay in the right lane if you are not overtaking (IE passing) a slower vehicle..The result, STILL folks are hanging out in the passing lanes at the SAME speed as the right lane, clogging the lanes and preventing others from passing for miles.The problem with most laws like these, an Officer MUST see the offender.. Often times just not enough Officers per mile of road to actually enforce the laws.

we have dash cams now with time an date stamp. maybe that will have some effect but doubtful.

I'm sure I'll catch some flak but I am a retired LEO and I used to enforce that law in my State and did it with a smile on my face.Actually nailed a few DUI's that way.

fair number of states won't allow any towing in the 3rd or 4th lane of a mulilane highway in many places. WA is one of them. going through spokane I've seen many a trailer or semi pulled over when they moved to the leftmost 3rd lane to pass traffic. bummer when your stuck in the middle lane with SLOW traffic below the speed limit and can't move over to pass.
