I doubt that law exists. Maybe it should

I doubt it exists also, which is why I was giving the poster who said it was somehow applicable to the discussion a chance to explain.

Thank you so much for the "chance" Please do your own research...but because I love to help.....


“SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT.” Signs like this and its closely related cousin (“KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS”) are posted on highways around the country. The messages might seem like mere suggestions to drivers, but here in Florida it is the law. Florida State Statute 316.081 makes it a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a moving violation for any driver to dawdle in the left lane proceeding at less than the normal speed of traffic and who doesn’t get out of the way of approaching vehicles.

This law is designed to cut down on dangerous, aggressive driving and road rage incidents. The goal of this law is to reserve the left lane for faster cars, so that traffic flows smoothly and vehicles have no need to rapidly switch lanes left and right to pass.

You are welcome

You are welcome
and Thank You!. for posting a response not relevant to my question. We are all in agreement that slow traffic in the left lane needs to move over to let faster traffic pass. My question to you wasn't about that, it was about your comment that slow traffic causes more accidents than speeders, and that's why they have "The Road Rage Law"...that's what I asked about.
What do you have to support that claim?
I have read the entirety of Statute 316.081 and it makes no reference to "Road Rage".
