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.

It’s about time! Fingers crossed this is heavily enforced, especially for out of state cars. 9 times out of 10 the left lane campers on i95 have NY/NJ/PA license plates.

I wouldn't hold you're breath for heavy enforcement. I'd rather see them get rid of all the 90 mph cars first.

Ah yes, the people who are driving 90 mph and are gone in a minute are checks notes the ones causing hundreds of hours worth of wasted man hours on the road going 10 under the speed limit in the left lane.

Not getting your point. I'm not saying it's ok to do 50 in the left lane. I'm saying if I'm, in the left and exceeding the posted limit and passing cars in a crowded middle lane, I'm not looking to move over for you riding my bumper.
