MEMORANDUM

Posted:	February 7, 2017 04:04 PM
From:	Representative Dom Costa
To:	All House members
Subject:	Legislation Increasing the Fine for Failure to Keep Right

In the near future, I plan to introduce legislation that amends Title 75 (Vehicles) to increase the fine for failure to keep right while driving on a limited access highway from $25 to $100. As many of you are aware, motorists traveling slowly in the left-hand lane of a limited access highway present both a frustration and danger to other motorists on the highway. The left lane of a limited-access highway is intended for motorists to: Pass another vehicle Travel at a speed greater than the traffic flow Move to allow traffic to merge Prepare for a left turn at an intersection or exit Vehicles traveling slowly in the left-hand lane for an extended period can cause tailgating or force vehicles to pass in the right-hand lane, a more dangerous option. This legislation increases the fine for failure to keep right in an effort to increase safety and reduce incidences of vehicles traveling in the left-hand lane at slower speeds. Please join me in sponsoring this important legislation.
