2/26/03-Ever get stuck in the left lane behind someone who won't go as fast as you want to? A legislator in Maryland had proposed a bill to help you out.
Unfortunately, HB73 lost a preliminary vote in the state's House of Delegates Feb. 25.
The bill would fine drivers in the left lane who don't move right when a faster vehicle comes up from behind - even if the first vehicle is going the legal speed limit and the vehicle behind is speeding.
However, the bill's supporters, who fell just shy of passing the measure in the House, won a vote that would bring the bill back for another vote as soon as today.
