Bill Summary

Relative to preventing road rage incidents precipitated by slow or stopped vehicles. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill aims to prevent road rage incidents by addressing slow-moving or stopped vehicles. It amends Chapter 89 of the General Laws to require drivers moving at a slow speed that impedes the flow of traffic to drive in the rightmost lane or use alternate routes if the highway has multiple lanes. The bill also prohibits bringing a vehicle to a complete stop on a roadway unless necessary for safe operation or in compliance with the law. Violations of these provisions would be punishable by a $600 fine, split evenly between the arresting agency and the court costs.
