MECKLENBURG COUNTY, NC (WBTV) -
A bill that would fine drivers $200 for driving too slowly in a passing lane has been filed by a senator who represents Mecklenburg County.

The bill would ban drivers in a passing lane from driving at less than the legal speed limit. Violators would be fined.

Sen. Jeff Tarte filed the bill, which if approved, would become effective starting December 1, 2015.

The bill states, "Upon all highways, any vehicle proceeding at less than the legal maximum speed limit or impeding the steady flow of traffic shall be driven in a lane other than the inside lane next to the centerline or median of a multi-lane highway, except when overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction or when making a left turn. A person who violates this subsection is guilty of an infraction punishable by a fine of two hundred dollars ($200.00). For purposes of this subsection, a person is 'impeding the steady flow of traffic' if the person knows or reasonably should know that he or she is being overtaken from the rear by a vehicle traveling at a higher rate of speed."

The bill can be accessed here.

Six Rules Of The Road You Should Observe (But Probably Won't)

(2) If you're not passing another car, stay OUT of the left lane!

The left-most lane on roads with two, three, or more lanes in the same direction is NOT just for travel. It's called the passing lane. And there's a reason for that.

It doesn't matter if you're going the speed limit. You may feel like you're doing the right thing by slowing a speeder down, or you may feel it's your RIGHT to drive in any lane you 'darn well please.'

You're not. It's not. And you ARE breaking the law.

Here's how it is DESIGNED to work: You're in what you think is just like any other lane except that it's 'fast'. One of us approaches you from behind at 74mph (and you look down to see you're going 67mph and you switch to your smug 'justified' face because the sign says 65). While rather close in proximity, the driver begs you to move over.

Oh, how you should.

But you don't.

The driver tries to be patient and now cars start lining up behind both of you. There's a quick flash of the brights, and if you look up from your phone you either move over, or your ego decides that you'll be stubborn (and in some cases actually slow down ON PURPOSE). In most cases you don't even notice the signal but you just start complaining about the guy riding your bumper.

Now there's four or five vehicles lining up behind you while you have a LOT of distance ahead of you and enough room to move over. Now the sixth vehicle back finally jets across two lanes of traffic to go around not only you and the cars behind you, but but also around the slower cars in the two lanes to your right, only to find that there's no GOOD reason for you to be IN THE WAY.

Note that he used the 'SLOW' lane to do this in.

Move over. You don't have to be stubborn.

It's not your lane. You don't have to be self-righteous.

Please be part of the solution. Don't cause traffic jams and contribute to road rage.

Won't pass, mom's and groups will be mad at having to drive the legal maximum speed limit and say this legislates potentially dangerous habits especially for snow and weather driving
 
That's bullshit unless they are driving 45 in a 65. U can't force ppl to go faster than the limit just bc someone in the fast lane behind them is going 85. I purposefully drive the limit in the left lane just to troll every1
 
Well here in NC, we don't take kindly to you fucking assholes. This is mostly geared toward Interstates with multiple lanes. If you're in the passing lane getting passed by everyone else, you're creating a dangerous situation.
 
Then drive the limit and don't break the law ass hole
if they wanted u to go 85 they would post a 85 speed limit in the left lane
 
You can technically drive the limit if the bill passes. But if you're going under the posted limit, and remain in the far left lane while knowing that people are passing you on the right, you're a dick and should get fined.

booeze needs some comprehension glasses
 
Wait, so assuming this passed:...
When travelling in the left lane:
You can't go 1mph under the speed limit (breaks new law)
You also can't go 1mph over the speed limit (speeding)

Pretty much makes it illegal to use the left lane. Stupid law.
