The overall bill makes changes to the way the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles administers many programs and was signed into law June 13 by the governor.

And yes, someone going 10 mph slower SHOULD NOT be in the left lane.
This has come up before. Even if you are going the maximum speed limit and speeding car approaching in the left lane you must move over if traffic allows it. Or at the first oppuntunity. To let the speeding car around. Only LOEs are traffic enforcers. As stated left lane is for all traffic unless someone is speeding. Then you have to move over let them by. If I'm going to turn left I get in the left lane when it's safe or clear and my speed is with the flow of traffic which is usually 40 plus on BV or Morse BV. Few people drive 35 down these roads if the do unless turning left then need to be in the right lane to let the speeders by. Leo is responsible for law breakers.

The orginal post was about golf cart designed to go 12 mph on course modified for special use to go 20. Not triple its design. This is the problem LEO need to catch IMO not the ones going 22 or 23 down hill. As far as LSV most exceed 25 mph limit when going down BV or Morse BV. I find little traffic enforcement in around villages which creates this problem.

The most complainers IMO are the speeders that use the left lane and don't drive in the right lane and get ****ed when they have to drive the speed limit!
