Yep but it doesn't say what too slow is. Is doing the speed limit in the left lane, while impeding the people that want to go 10+, while I'm passing someone who is doing 60 count as a violation? Seems like a good idea turned into a crappy law that wasn't thought through fully.
I wish I knew where the video of 3 cars doing the same speed next to eachother on the highway around atlanta. They were doing the speed limit (perfectly legal) but people behind them were flipping out, passing on the shoulders and acting like fools. So who is wrong? the assholes who were doing the speed limit and didnt let anyone pass them at a higher than legal speed, or the people who did illegal stuff to get around them.

Start of a good trend in lawmaking - laws that actually make the roads safer. Add passing on the right and tailgating enforcement and we'd be on to something.

True that. Driving over there was much less infuriating. STAY RIGHT PASS LEFT FUCKERS

I think I'm in the minority on this one, I'm against it the way the article says its written. It needs to not be subjective, maybe state that impeding traffic while in the left lane by doing more than 5mph less than the speed limit, law doesn't count while sitting in traffic. The way its written now sounds liek its one of those fines that gets tacked on to other fines. "Guy was speeding, failure to maintain lane, failure to signal camping in left lane, littering, failure to wear seatbelt So I pulled him over and beat him". Yeh I hate when I want to go and people want to stop, but this just seems like a dumb idea that is only going to ever be used as a tack on fine to get more money out of you

Doesn't Ga. allready have this? I thought I remembered seeing signs to the tune of "Speed limit 75 speed minimum 45" and then signs reading you WILL be ticketed for going slow in the fast lane

If they do, I've never seen it enforced. Plenty of dumbshits driving under or at the limit in the left lane at all times, even when there's no vehicles anywhere near them in the right lane that they could possibly be passing.

The reason its not enforced is that its a lesser violation than speeding, and very easy to argue out of in court.
