This is a law I can get behind!

Fines may increase for left-lane campers on N.J. highways

Drivers who hate it when fellow travelers clog the left lane, take heart. The New Jersey Senate Transportation Committee Monday advanced a proposal to increase fines for drivers who fail to stay right except to pass — from $50 to $200 now, to $100 to $300, with $50 to go toward signs reminding motorists entering New Jersey about the stay right law.

“Having conversations with law enforcement, they refer to this as one of the triggers for road rage,” state Sen. Donald Norcross (D-Camden), the bill sponsor, said of left-lane campers.

He got to experience express lane obstructions first-hand on his way to Trenton Monday, saying, “Certainly, driving here today just reminds me why this is a good bill.”
