    "It's aggravating. It slows you down, and it's unfair," said Bill Schmidt, who often hauls heavy equipment on I-4 for Southern Wells Services of Clearwater.

    You should slow down! If a big truck is in the left lane passing traffic then he's going too fast for traffic conditions. Your paycheck isn't more important than public safety.

    I'm afraid not. All this manages to accomplish is to cause a rolling road block, which can stack traffic up in a hurry, because of the idiots who insist on getting out in the middle lane and going slow.

    The politicians must be aware of the middle lane hogs so rather than addressing something that is a cause of road rage for everyone, they just decide to target trucks, and use the middle lane hogs to do that.
