Since 2007, trucks heavier than 24,000 pounds are prohibited from driving in the left-most lane of Interstate 70 within three miles of the intersection with state Route 370 in St. Charles County.

I never thought I would see THAT happen. Hope it passes. The ones voting on it just want us out of the way. And then there are the drivers that need 30 min to pass and hold up the left lane pissing off everyone in the left lane.
