Italy wants to fine those who drive slowly in the left lane

Italians are pushing for stricter penalties against slow drivers in the left lane, with a proposed law establishing a minimum speed of 100 km/h. This law aims to reduce traffic congestion and accidents on busy highways connecting major cities. The proposal includes fines ranging from €40 to €160 for violations and is currently under parliamentary discussion. The new rule would apply only to highways with at least three lanes in each direction, addressing the issue of slow vehicles causing delays and potential conflicts among drivers.
