Oklahoma, Kansas approve bills to clear left lane

Two Midwestern states have approved a change in their state law that is intended to increase safety on highways.

Oklahoma and Kansas lawmakers endorsed legislation that allows them to crack down on slowpokes who clog traffic by driving in the left lanes. The statehouse actions are welcome news to the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association. The Association says it is common sense to have rules in place that slower vehicles yield to faster traffic.

In the Sooner State, the Senate unanimously approved a bill prohibiting motorists from driving for extended periods of time in the passing lane. The vote cleared the way for the bill HB1368 to advance to Gov. Brad Henrys desk. House lawmakers previously approved it by an 87-10 vote.
At least 20 states have similar left lane restriction rules, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
