The House of Delegates has approved a bill that would impose a mandatory $250 fine for driving too slowly in the left lane on highways.
HB 2201 was introduced by Delegate Israel O’Quinn, R-Bristol, and co-sponsored Delegate Kaye Kory of Falls Church and Senator Scott Surovell of Fairfax, both Democrats, to show bipartisan support for the measure.
O’Quinn said this is something that affects all Virginians, regardless of which side of the aisle they align themselves with.
“It doesn’t matter which corner of the commonwealth you come from,” he said when addressing the bill on the House floor Monday. “It doesn’t matter which interstate or four-lane highway that you have going through the districts you represent. I guarantee you are going to encounter this many times, even if you’re on the highways for just a few minutes.”
