Make it illegal for large comercial trucks and motorhomes to drive in the left lane on multi-lane roads

Created by J.K. on July 22, 2014

Large comercial trucks and motorhomes can be a danger to other drivers on interstates and multi-lane highways due to thier ineherent slow speeds. Many times they will use the left lane to pass another slow moving vehicle, all the while creating a hazzard and holding up other vehicle traffic that is going the speed limit. They should not be allowed to use the left lane unless it is necessary for contruction, or a left exit. According to ScienceDaily.com (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/12/131205220041.htm) trucks are responsible for 4500 deaths per year in the United States. By simply making these large vehicles stay in one lane, we can surely reduce this number.
