Keep Right Except to Pass

[NegatiZE]

DENVER - The Colorado State Patrol says it will soon be enforcing a law designating the left lane on highways at the passing lane.

The law has actually been in effect for six months, but starting Jan. 1., state troopers will begin ticketing people that hog the passing lane.

The law requires that on multilane highways, where the speed limit is at least 65 miles per hour, drivers must stay out of the far left lane except for passing. The exception is rush hour, when motorists are not able to move over.

The Patrol had sought the change because they thought the practice of slow driving in the fast lane contributed to road rage.

Penalties for violators include a $35 fine plus a $6.20 surcharge and three points on their driver's license.

The Colorado Department of Transportation has posted about 40 signs around the state, reminding motorists to "Keep right except to pass." Another 30 signs are planned.

It has been the law here in Northeast for some time now, its just too bad that some state troopers are either don't give a sh*t for it, or know nothing about it. However, it is about time some one took an initiative.

Well they've finally adopted the european school of thought on that one . . . if only they'd build our roads like they do the autobahn now . . . ****ing potholes, and it's only december

[zerocover]

But where will I do my speeding!

This is great and all for keeping the slow people out of the fast lane, but I cant just be weaving in and out of the middle lane Id get pulled over for reckless driving.

We cant adopt the european school of driving becuase too many people are idiots, and the middle lane is just gonna slow to 30mph.

however 3 points is what im talking about, thats definetly oneway to enforce stuff.

as long as your always passing you will be ok, lol

The problem is that they don't enforce the law, I had some guy in Mass doing 55 in a 55 in the left lane and wouldn't get over. The right lane was free so I blinked my lights, I eventually passed him on the right but not before I was passed by several people on the right. It's morons like that who cause roadrage and get people killed... if they start enforcing it I will be a much happier man!
