Seemingly everyone has an opinion on highway drivers who cruise in the left lane and refuse to move over.
“I think it’s kind of selfish,” said Jacksonville driver Win thomas.
“Oh, I can’t stand them,” said Tennessee resident Loraine Monroe, who had stopped at a Jacksonville rest stop on her way back North.
After sputtering out last year , the push to prohibit left lane cruising is back with a full tank of gas.
“We won’t call it the fast lane, but it’s moving along,” said bill sponsor state Senator Keith Perry.

Perry’s bill would make Florida the 9th state to require the left lane on major roads with posted speeds of 65 miles an hour or higher to be used as a passing lane only.
