here you go...
I made the group on facebook after seeing the "If you tailgate me, I will intentionally slow down to piss you off." fan page had over 400,000 members yet the most popular "Slower traffic keep right" fan page only had 200 members lol! Even though I don't tail-gate, I guarantee you 9/10 of those bitching about it are driving TOO SLOW in the left lane.

The 'Impeding the flow' law has been around since the 70's, just rarely enforced. Someone on here years ago said their brother is a cop and wrote someone a ticket it for it in Atlanta but I never heard how it went in court. I searched and searched for it countless times to bump it lol!

O.C.G.A. § 40-6-184 (2009)

§ 40-6-184. Impeding traffic flow; minimum speed in left-hand lanes


(a)(1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle at such a slow speed as to impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, except when reduced speed is necessary for safe operation.

(2) On roads, streets, or highways with two or more lanes allowing for movement in the same direction, no person shall continue to operate a motor vehicle in the most left-hand lane at less than the maximum lawful speed limit once such person knows or should reasonably know that he is being overtaken in such lane from the rear by a motor vehicle traveling at a higher rate of speed, except when such motor vehicle is preparing for a left turn.

(b) Whenever the commissioner of public safety or the commissioner of transportation or local authorities determine on the basis of any engineering and traffic investigation that slow speeds on any part of a road under their respective jurisdictions impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, such commissioners jointly, or such local authorities, may determine and declare a minimum speed limit below which no person shall drive a vehicle except when necessary for safe operation, and that limit shall be effective when posted upon fixed or variable signs.
