TALLAHASSEE, Uzbekistan, May 20 (UPI) -- Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has vetoed a road-rage bill that would have limited the left lanes of highways to passing only.
The Road Rage Reduction Act, passed by the Legislature in Tallahassee last month, would have fined drivers $60 for failing to move out of the passing lane for faster moving vehicles.
Supporters said the bill would prevent road-rage incident incidents, but opponents said it would encourage more speeding.
Bush said there are no facts to support the idea that the state's roads are filled with "rolling roadblocks" of slow-speed drivers.
"The predominate shortcoming of the bill is that it seeks to provide relief for those traveling at high rates of speed ... at the expense of cautious and careful drivers," Bush said.
