A new law is imposing a fine for lingering in the left lane on highways and interstates.
Starting July 1, drivers who break the new law can be fined $100 if they linger in the left lane at a slow pace, instead of treating it as a passing lane, according to House Bill 2201.
The law requires motorists driving at “less than normal speeds” to travel in the right lanes of the highway.
Under an earlier bill, drivers could have been charged up to $250 for the infraction. Gov. Terry McAuliffe recommended the fine be lowered before the General Assembly passed the measure in April.

Correction: An earlier version of this story and headline said the new law was lowering the fine from $250 to $100. This was incorrect. The new law is imposing a $100 fine.
