The Florida Legislature might be on your side with a proposed legislation to prohibit this habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Introduced by Rep. Jenna Persons-Mulicka, R-Fort Myers,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flsenate.gov\/Session\/Bill\/2024\/317\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HB 317<\/a>, branded as the Interstate Safety, intends to impose penalties on drivers who occupy the left-most lane on highways with a&nbsp;minimum speed limit of 65 mph for reasons other than overtaking, barring certain exceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Persons-Mulicka voiced her concern regarding drivers who obstruct traffic movement by persistently staying in the left lane. \u201cThis practice heightens unpredictability on the roads, leads to increased encounters, excessive lane changing, and subsequently opens possibilities for accidents,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, the Transportation &amp; Modals subcommittee approved the bill. It\u2019s now the responsibility of the Infrastructure Strategies committee.
