Earlier this month, a new law went into effect in Indiana. Essentially, if you’re driving too slowly in the left lane, you can be ticketed and fined up to $500. The law is designed to keep traffic moving and reduce frustration for drivers who are trying to pass. When it comes to driving etiquette, left-lane-passing-lane is just the beginning.
