My BIL was a state trooper and his observation was that left lane hogs are a significant reason for road rage and the dangerous driving that it creates by forcing people to pass on the right usually swerving and cutting off people already in the right lane.

Then there's the old joke about the driver, usually depicted as a senior, who got in the left lane in Orlando because he had to make a left turn in Sarasota.

I hope the new law has some effect, but I think it will be low on the priority of FHP officers.
