Similar to a law that Governor Ron DeSantis vetoed last year, proposals were submitted this week for consideration during the next legislative session that would prohibit cars from cruising in the left lanes of Florida roadways. On Tuesday, Senator Jonathan Martin, a Republican from Fort Myers, and Representative Jenna Persons-Mulicka, a Republican from Fort Myers, submitted similar bills (SB 636 and HB 545) that would prohibit left-lane cruising on highways with two lanes or more and speed restrictions of at least 65 mph. According to the plans, drivers who are passing other vehicles, getting ready to leave a highway, turning from a left-lane, and being steered into the correct lanes by law enforcement or traffic-control systems would all be excluded.
Additionally, they would grant drivers an exemption due to traffic or environmental conditions. DeSantis said that the law was “too broad” and that drivers might “be pulled over, ticketed, and fined for driving in the furthest left lane even if they are not impeding the flow of traffic” when he vetoed it last year. The law, which received unanimous Senate approval and only three House dissenting votes, could “potentially increase congestion in Florida’s urban areas as drivers may decide to not utilize the furthest left-hand lane at all for fear of being ticketed,” DeSantis continued the statement. The normal legislative session of this year will begin on March 4.
