The Florida Department of Transportation is reminding drivers that going too slow is against the law

Florida officials warn drivers to stop going slow in left lane.

Warnings have sprung up on Interstate 4, Florida’s Turnpike and other major roads telling motorists that if they choose to drive slower than the flow of traffic, they need to avoid the left lanes.

The warnings are displayed on dynamic messaging signs and read: "SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT MINIMUM FINE $121." The messaging campaign began Feb. 14 and runs through Saturday, according to Jennifer Horton, public information specialist with FDOT.

The statewide campaign is a continued effort to keep drivers safe and encourage safe use of the roads.



Personally, I'm in favor of summary executions, performed on the shoulder of the road. But I guess this is a start. You know these people. The ones who daddle along in the fast lane, going 65.5 mph as they take 8 miles to pass a car going 65. And then once they execute their all important pass, they hang in the left lane and will speed up to 80 to prevent you from passing them on the right. Yes, you know these people! The emasculated male driving a 4 cylinder minivan. He acts like keeping you behind him is all that stands between him and losing what's left of his manhood. The 4'11" female with penis envy, driving an oversized SUV that she can't see above the steering wheel. And truckers used to be cool people. Now you see the ones who think it's funny to ride beside another big truck for miles and miles. They'll actually pull ahead of the truck they're passing, but keep the back of their truck near the front bumper of the truck in the right lane, so you can't zip around - and the right lane guy will sync with him. Assholes! These 'tards won't move out of the way for a sports car that's clearly just trying to get down the road or even an ambulance with flashing lights. They think it's their job to regulate the flow of traffic. I hate them all. Hopefully the cops in Florida will pass out these $121 tickets like M&M's. We have/had a similar law in my state. But the sorry ass state troopers here generally don't enforce that law.

There is a similar law in NJ too. It all comes down to your attitude on the road. Just because you get into your car doesn't mean that you own the road. I'll admit that for the most part that I drive like Grandpa. This keeps my insurance down to less than 50 bucks a month. I ain't in a hurry to get anyplace too often. I also realize that traffic needs to flow. I may click it up to 70 when the pattern is there but I will also be looking in to my back mirror for assholes flying and pull right for them. I'm not in a race, I just want to get to where I'm going.

Conspiracy...
They are just looking for more money.

There are many ways to get out of a ticket.

I'm cool with no fine... as long as there's a dancing cop that sings this as he approaches the offender's car.

 
can we please get an autobahn here in the states?

the fastest speed limit i've seen is in Idaho at 85mph. apparently there's some stretches in wyoming or montana or the rest of big sky country where there is no limit.

I've seen hov lanes with barriers. do that for the auto bahnlanes in populated areas. fund it if necessary by defunding planned parenthood and the arts.


GTFOutta the way. I am racing or have to or just want to be somewhere fast. what is it to you? i didn't buy the car I did for the leisure.
 
I am very much in favor of this. Every single day I meet these morons who think it's okay to go 60mph in the left lane. Then when I try to go around them, I can't because some moron in the middle lane has decided to keep pace with me and of course there is the moron who is tailgating me, keeping me boxed in behind the guy going 60mph in the left lane!

This is controversial news? Of course traffic has, in order to function fluidly, go at a minimum of spped. There may be exceptions for horse carriages or such, but the same laws apply on german streets, varying from city roads to the Autobahn.

And if you choose a speed too slow for too long, you are obscuring traffic, and that means you will have to be fined

From what friends have told me, in Germany, it's a big no-no to pass a slow moving car in the slow lane, even if they're plugging up the fast lane. But especially on unrestricted sections of the Autobahn, I'm told that drivers are MUCH more aware of where they are and what's coming up behind them. If you've got a Porsche 911 coming up on you doing 150, you certainly don't want to wander into the passing lane going 80. So unlike here in the U.S., slower traffic there will generally get out of the way once they've completed their pass, correct? Not here though. Here, the snail people, who are taking their cars for a walk, will live in that passing lane for mile after mile. And they'll redline their mini van to prevent you from darting around them if they can.

The most fun I've had in a car, outside of the race track, was a couple of years ago when I was having some work done to my car. They fixed me up in a rental for the week they had my car. It was a black Dodge Charger (looked just like a State Police interceptor :)). I got a pair of cheap mirrored sunglasses at the drugstore and had a ball driving to work that entire week. For once in my life, having the appearance of a cop worked in my favor. I could pull up on cars and they'd jump their asses into the lane that they should have been in to begin with. Big trucks would move out of my way. That was sweet!

This is what every frustrated American driver needs to have:

Hell, I might go to a police auction one of these days and see if I can snag a cheap one. You can legally keep the spotlight, you just can't run the emergency lights. It would make a fun daily driver. I'm serious... I might just get one! :pirate:

You are right, those things are a big part of getting a drivers licence in the first place, and slower traffic almost always instantly goes back to the slower, right lane.
 
I have driven the I-4 corridor from Daytona to Tampa many times. Crazy people on that stretch. The portion between Daytona and Orlando is known as the "Dead Zone" a lot of fatal accidents there and they seem to happen without any reason but stupidity. But with a higher frequency than other places. I am always cognizant of that and use extra caution going through.
