SC ‘slowpoke’ bill goes into effect Aug. 15
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WPDE) — A law that makes it illegal for slow drivers to stay in the left lane will go into effect in South Carolina on Aug. 15.
The “slowpoke” law set fines at $25 for drivers who continuously drive in the left lane on highways when they aren’t passing other vehicles.
Earlier versions of the proposal had fines of $200 and a 30-day jail sentence.
The State Department of Transportation started putting up signs at least every 35 miles on interstates warning slower traffic to keep right.
