MINNEAPOLIS — Slower traffic should keep to the right. It's one of the first things we learn when we start driving in Minnesota and anywhere else for that matter.
Starting Aug. 1, the state's traffic laws will make it crystal clear left lane slowpokes have to get out of the way, or face a $50 ticket plus $75 surcharges and court fees.
"It’s just safer, whether it be moving over to let traffic flow, or to prevent road rage and other things that happen out on the roadways," Lt. Gordon Shank of the Minnesota State Patrol told KARE.
He said troopers would use their discretion and weigh the circumstances in deciding whether to issue tickets or warnings to slowpokes.

It's the way all States should do .
Maryland would double it's revenue in 3 months just from PA drivers trying to get to O.C.
So if the car is doing the speed limit y not target the SPEEDERS braking the LAW.
There is at least one person who will comment shortly, saying "the speed is the same in both lanes."
Wait for it...wait for it...here he comes. You know the guy that has a million miles under his belt. He's a first class, beligerante a-hole!!
Yeah
All trucks, minivans,suvs,contractors,commercial vehicles, car loads of kids,anyone over 50,locals,RV's and trailers and anyone with attached bicycles. RIGHT LANE or refer to passing protocol .
It's funny how people here pride themselves as good safe speedy drivers.
Hello being a NASCAR fan does not make you a competent driver and what's your hurry to get to the nearest Wal-Mart. Some of us have real jobs and company cars and need to get up and down the Mid-Atlantic region and the eastern sea board and people drive like they are on a Sunday drive.
While your at take those loud obnoxious fart mufflers off you piece of shit car. It's not enough to be a visible moron you need to be heard too ?
It is to warn you, an a- hole is coming- watch out.
@ June 6, 2019 at 9:14 PM. I have your a-hole swinging, chump. The speed limit is the same in both lanes, numb nuts. Take that, fool. In your face. And nothing you can do about it. Idiots like you cause accidents and endanger the lives of others.
@ June 6, 2019 at 8:42 PM. Exactly right. But you will never convince these morons that THEY are breaking the law. They have an entitlement attitude seasoned with a generous helping of ignorance.
@ June 6, 2019 at 10:49 PM. Slow your dumb azz down, fool. You have NO right to drive like a punk on the highways and streets and roads. And yes I will say it again and you cannot deny it. You will because I make you look like a fool. The speed limit IS the same in both lanes. Don't like it, then pass me, female dog.
The left lanes is considered the passing lane and also used for making left turns. If you want to do the speed limit don't be an asshat and just ride in the left lane. Be considerate or another asshat is going to put you in a ditch.
