ATLANTA — Driving too slow in Georgia's fast lanes could bring a fine for drivers who block the flow of traffic under legislation introduced today.
House Bill 1047 by Rep. Mark Butler, R-Carrollton, would impose a $75 fine for slowpokes.
It already is illegal for motorists in the left lane to block traffic by refusing to move over “once such person knows or should reasonably know that he or she is being overtaken in such lane,” Georgia law says.
But there are exceptions such as when conditions require a slower speed for safety, making a left turn and driving the speed limit.
Butler’s bill would only add the fine. It still would not require someone driving the maximum speed to pull aside for someone who is speeding.
If passed, it would take effect July 1, just in time to apply to Independence Day vacationers.
