If you didn't hear already as of July 1st there was a new law that took affect in the state of Idaho which makes it illegal to drive slow in the fast lane. We all have been behind a vehicle like this and as annoying as it can be it is also very unsafe.

According to KIVI, Idaho police are now targeting those drivers who are going slow in the fast lane in hopes to reduce accidents. As of July 27th there have only been two citations issues for drivers going too slow in the fast lane, although three other drivers were issued warnings.

The citation for going slow in the fast lane could cost you $90 and affect your insurance premium so make sure you're obeying the new law to avoid the citation. While this isn't the most important thing that Idaho police have to look out for, this will be taken serious because of how dangerous it can be.
