INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana State Police say they issued more than 100 tickets in the first year of the so-called "slowpoke law."

The law, which went into effect last year, requires drivers in the left lane to switch lanes if they're moving slower than drivers behind them.

This week, state police issued numbers for the law's first year: 109 tickets and more than 1,500 warnings.

Officials say most of the feedback from the public regarding the law has been positive.
