Jeb Bush vetoed a bill that would have required people in the left lane to get out of the way for faster vehicles.
There’s no evidence to suggest that it’s a real problem, number one. Number two, I couldn’t get over the fact that this bill would punish law abiding citizens that were going below the speed limit within the law”
-Jeb Bush
I have two thoughts regarding this – 1) A law prohibiting slower drivers from hanging out in the left lane won’t work any more than speeding laws work. In other words, if it passed, it would raise revenues for the state, and that’s about it. Laws don’t change people’s behavior. Laws punish people who get caught breaking those laws. 2) Jeb Bush must be high if he hasn’t noticed the plethora of rude and arrogant drivers on the road. I commute 70 miles each way to work every weekday. There are all kinds of selfish, apathetic and outright hostile people who won’t signal and won’t get out of the way.
