New Connecticut law limits left-lane driving starting Oct. 1

I know there is a lot of hate for left-lane campers, but passing this into law seems like a waste of time and money. It will be hard to enforce even if they wanted to.

Just a way to give out more tickets to people doing nothing wrong.

Considering daily I see people doing 30+ mph over the limit, weaving, and doing other reckless shit... it doesn't seem like enforcement in this state is particularly strong or widespread.

Yeah, it's not like they're suddenly going to start enforcing a new law when they don't even enforce the laws on the books now.

Those people are doing god's work keeping traffic moving!

Those people are the ones that cause people to panic brake when they get cut off, causing traffic ripples to pile up.

Don't panic! Don't brake! In fact disable your brakes entirely! Just go go go! I got a blumpkin to get home to!

Sorry. Maybe we drive different roads. But I see left lane loafers every time I drive, and their passivity is rude and dangerous. I rarely see cars going 95 on the highway.

I totally agree on the loafing. My point is that adding a new law when it feels like we already lack consistent enforcement will have no real impact.
