A new Oklahoma law requires drivers to stay in the right-hand lane of a mutli-lane road, unless passing another vehicle or turning. Many Oklahoma drivers are not yet aware of the law and its consequences. Those who fail to obey the law may be subject to a fine of $188.50. The law is designed to keep drivers out of the left lane who could be clogging traffic and interferring with emergency vehicles. House Bill 1368 went into effect on November first.

Separate From On-Going Recall Involving
Floor Mat Pedal Entrapment Issue
Toyota has recalled approximately 2.3 million vehicles due to the dangerous possibility of sticking accelerator pedals. The problem can occur when the accelerator pedal becomes hard to depress, slow to return to idle, or mechanically stick in a partially depressed position, increasing the risk of a crash. Vehicles being recalled are:
The condition can occur when the pedal mechanism becomes worn and, in certain conditions, the accelerator pedal may become harder to depress, slower to return or stuck in a partially depressed position.
In the event that a driver experiences this problem, the vehicle can be controlled with firm and steady application of the brakes. Brakes should not be pumped repeatedly because it could deplete vacuum assist, requiring stronger brake pedal pressure. The vehicle should be driven to the nearest safe location and the engine shut off.
This recall is in addition to the recall of approximately 4.2 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles to reduce the risk of pedal entrapment by incorrect or out of place accessory floor mats. Click here for details of the recall last fall.
