State Rep. Mike Bennett hasn't abandoned his quest to punish motorists who settle into the left lane and force faster drivers to go around them. The Bradenton Republican has re-introduced a bill this year that was vetoed last year by then-Gov. Jeb Bush.
It targets drivers who don't move over "once they realize that traffic behind them is overtaking them at a high rate of speed," Bennett wrote in a column sent to newspapers several weeks ago.
I think the pokey people cause at least as many accidents as the speed demons. Especially dangerous are those who can't seem to grasp that the left lane on I-69 is a passing lane, not a driving lane.
