Drivers could soon be fined for cruising in the passing lane.The sign at one rest stop reads, Georgia Welcomes The World, but many travelers say that may not last much longer. That's because legislation introduced a bill Monday that would make it illegal to linger in what's supposed to be the fast lane.Sometimes you feel like your being pushed off the road, said Inez Lemnuz, You need a place to go and the left lane is where trucks should not be, and therefore you can be in those lanes and feel much safer.Lemnuz is one of many concerned drivers. She travels through Georgia interstates every year on her way to Florida and fears a new law could change her traveling tradition.I'm certanly not opposed to truckers or truck drivers but I do think that they need lanes separtate from the automobile for safety reasons.Nacy Essa agrees this bill is another bill she could live without.I think it's a bad idea, with all the semis out there, there's a ton of them , if I had to keep getting behind one it would take me twice as long.
