The fee is meant to reduce the number of traffic-snarling crashes on Indiana's most congested highways and roads, the Indianapolis Star reported.
''If you have a driver that's causing problems, that takes use of the roads away from others,'' said Thomas Sharp, commissioner of the Indiana Department of Transportation. ''The whole purpose is to keep traffic moving.''
The fine would require General Assembly approval. It is listed as a ''recommended funding option'' in Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels' Major Moves road plan.
