DENVER, Jan. 23 (UPI) -- Colorado legislators gave initial approval Friday to a bill requiring slowpoke drivers to pull over and let faster vehicles pass.
The House gave its preliminary approval to the measure, which requires slow-moving vehicles to pull over to the side of the road whenever five or more cars are lined up behind them.
The House must next give formal approval to the bill before it heads to the state Senate.
The Denver Post said the proposal has been controversial in rural areas where representatives say it could be dangerous to pull tractors hauling chemical tanks or trucks loaded with hay off the road.
The bill has an amendment attached that would exempt farm vehicles from the law.
