The billboard is located  in Pasco on I-75.
The Florida Highway Patrol has launched a new campaign to remind drivers to use the left lane of a highway for passing only.

The first billboard highlighting the message is on I-75 in Pasco County.

Troopers are also warning motorists about the rules when they pull them over for violating the law.

"What we are seeing here are aggressive drivers that ultimately crash," Trooper Larry Coggins of the Florida Highway Patrol said.

Driving slowly in the left lane can lead to a $100 ticket and losing three points on your license each time you get caught.
