I understand that an exemption from H.B. 4304 has been requested for the Coalfields Expressway roads.  Are the Coalfields Expressway roads exempt from the current 17C-7-3?  If not, there's no reason to exempt them from the proposed amended 17C-7-3.  They both require a vehicle to "...pass to the left thereof at a safe distance and shall not again drive to the right side of the roadway until safely clear of the overtaken vehicle".  How do coal trucks pass farm tractors, school buses, highway maintenance equipment and other slow moving vehicles on the Coalfields Expressway Roads?  Just run them over?
