NY: Newly proposed legislation deals with cars in the passing lane

A bill that would restrict drivers from occupying the left lane on an interstate highway without passing another vehicle has been proposed in Albany. State Senator Joseph Griffo of Rome is sponsoring the bill. According to WSYR, the bill would amend existing state traffic law and prevent drivers from remaining in the passing lane for more than one and a half miles. The goal is to encourage individuals to only occupy the left lane when passing or complying to the state’s “Move Over Law.”
