MONTGOMERY, Ala. — An Alabama lawmaker is seeking to have drivers ticketed if they are staying too long in the far left lane of an interstate.
The Decatur Daily reports that Republican Rep. Phillip Pettus of Greenhill is sponsoring a bill to limit the amount of time drivers could spend in the far left lane to no more than 1 and a half miles.
