ISP trooper’s tweet about Indiana’s ‘slowpoke’ law goes viral

VERSAILLES, Ind. (WISH) – A tweet from an Indiana State Police trooper has been getting a lot of attention.

Sgt. Stephen Wheeles tweeted a photo of a van he had pulled over with the following caption:

I stopped this vehicle today for a left lane violation on I-65. The driver had approximately 20 cars slowed behind her because she would not move back to the right lane. Again…if there are vehicles behind you, you must move to the right lane to allow them to pass.

At this point, the tweet, which was posted Saturday, has been retweeted more than 15 thousands times and like more than 50 thousand times.

In May 1, Brenna Donnelly did a story on Indiana’s “slowpoke” law.
