WASHINGTON – A Maryland woman says she was shocked when a law enforcement officer stopped and ticketed her for driving too slowly in the left lane and failing to move right.
The woman tells NBC 4 she was driving in the left lane of Interstate 95 last week in Laurel when she was stopped.
The woman was cited for failure to move right, she tells NBC 4. Her ticket said that she didn’t “keep right” after going 63 mph in a 65 mph zone.
The woman says she slowed due to windy conditions, and a retired state trooper who spoke to NBC 4 says the charge will likely not hold up in court.
