The new law, which took effect Wednesday, September 13, requires slow moving ve hicles on two-lane roads to pull over at the first op portunity and let faster traf fic pass. On multi lane high ways, such as free ways, slow moving vehicles must stay in the right lane—leaving the left lane clear for cars mov ing at faster speeds. How do you know if you’re a slow driver? Holly Hol comb, Superintendent of the Oregon State Police, says, "You will probably be con sidered a slow moving vehi cle anytime you travel slow er than the normal flow of traffic and cause a string of cars to pile up behind you.. When this happens, it’s time to pull over and let faster traffic pass you at the first safe spot to do so.” Holcomb said he expects the new law to curb the great number of accidents that oc- ur when other drivers be come impatient and take fool ish chances in passing the slow driver. “While the slow driver doesn’t always be come involved in accidents himself,” said Holcomb, "he does cause other drivers to have accidents.” The new law gives the slow driver a choice: He can drive with the prevailing speed of the other traffic, or he can pull over to let traf fic pass.
