If this bill were to become law, it would amend current traffic statutes by adding a provision that allows the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to assess two points against a person's driving record for driving in the left lane at a speed slower than normal traffic without overtaking another vehicle. This new language would be inserted into the existing statute regarding driving behavior on roadways.

The current law, which mandates that drivers traveling below the normal speed must use the right-hand lane, would remain unchanged. However, the bill would enhance enforcement by explicitly stating that a violation of this requirement could result in point penalties on the driver's record, thereby reinforcing the importance of maintaining appropriate speeds in the left lane.
