Virginia Slow-Driving Fine: Move It or Lose It, as in $100

Virginia's slow-driving fine of $100 has been coughed up by thousands of people since the state implemented a law setting penalties for driving too slowly in the left lane of a highway.

WTOP-FM obtained data on the citations through a public records request. The station reported that from July 1, 2017, through April 3, more than 16,000 people were cited under various portions of the law.

The law established the fine for driving too slowly in the left lane, failing to stay to the right unless passing and other related violations.

The bill's sponsor, Delegate Israel O'Quinn, said driving too slowly in the left lane endangers law enforcement and spurs road rage.
