SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 9
(By Senator Bailey)

Requiring that the laws of the state of West Virginia regarding the minimum speed allowance for motor vehicles utilizing the left lane of all four-lane highways throughout the state be enforced.

Whereas, A motor vehicle operating at speeds below the minimum allowance in a passing lane on our four-lane highway systems impedes the normal and reasonable movement of traffic; and

Whereas, It is the duty of our law-enforcement officers to enforce the laws of our state in order to compel any motorists to operate their motor vehicles in a safe manner while on our highways and to drive their vehicles no less than the minimum nor more than the maximum amount of speed in order to protect the safety and welfare of our citizens; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate:
That the law-enforcement officers of the state of West Virginia are hereby directed to enforce the laws of the state regarding the minimum speed allowance on our four-lane highway systems; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby requested to forward a copy of this resolution to the secretary of transportation, the superintendent of the division of public safety, the sheriff's departments of the fifty-five counties in West Virginia and the president of the West Virginia chiefs of police association.
