Well I didn't know that you must get over if a cop has some one pulled over. you are supposed to give them a lane if it is a two lane. My $740 ticket is a lesson I will never forget. Just thought I'd share.
A Little known law

the law states if there is a clear lane next to you then you are required to moved over, otherwise slow down.
i thought it was just a courtesy thing? ^^yeah, what hulud said.
if you're not able to get over, you are supposed to drop a certain amount below the speed limit. i think its 10mph below or someting like that.
wow that's an expensive ticket, but yeah I try to do it anyways, whether it's a cop or a broken down car.
I now know.
wow... that's why before you take your drivers license test, you should read the handbook.. it really helps out.

LAWRENCEVILLE - When police officers stop a vehicle on the side of the road, they have to watch their front and their back.
By stepping outside the patrol car, an officer becomes an open target for hazardous drivers on the road. That's why state officials are working to publicize the importance of Georgia's Move-Over Law, which went into effect in July 2003.
The law, simply put, requires a motorist traveling in a lane next to a stationary emergency vehicle with its emergency lights activated to change lanes wherever possible. If it's impossible to change lanes, drivers must slow down and be prepared to stop.
The statute is designed to keep officers and violators pulled over during traffic stops safe from crashes with passing cars.
Officer Elton Hassell of the Suwanee Police Department grows apprehensive each time he feels cars whooshing by, inches from clipping his body, as he is trying to focus on a driver.
"It is just something else we've got to watch to keep from getting killed," Hassell said. "It's scary, believe me it's scary."
Hassell said about 90 percent of the drivers he has questioned are ignorant about the Move-Over Law.
Thirty-two other states have move-over laws with fines ranging as high as $1,000. The fine for a citation is $500.
"Anyone who works alongside our highways is vulnerable, but police especially are in constant danger," said Bob Dallas, director of the Governor's Office of Highway Safety. "All too often, they've been 'winged' by cars whizzing by when officers approached vehicles pulled over during traffic stops. By July of 2005, four officers have already been killed by passing motorists in this country this year."
Although it has been more than two years since the Move-Over Law was instituted, the Governor's Office of Highway Safety has created brochures for year-round distribution at police road checks and the Department of Driver Services locations.
Informational road signs will also be posted along major inbound highways near state lines, state officials said.
The message to the public is simple, Hassell said.
"If they see blue lights, please slow down or get over," Hassell said. "We don't need any more officers killed."

shit, I didn't know it was a law either. But I get over anyways just to be safe.
that sucks. Plead Nolo and state the truth, that you really didn't know. The judge should take some of that off.

That won't work. Judge will just say that ignorance isn't an excuse.

pleading nolo contendere has nothing to do whether you know the law or not....When you sign your drivers license you are stating that you will abide by all laws on the road.
Hardly any judges let you plead nolo anymore as you basically are admitting guilt....You pretty much say, "I didn't do it, but ill never do it again." Nolo contendere is usually only used in criminal trials where a civil trial may begin after the criminal trial.
damn thats a big ass ticket, sorry man
You only live once, maybe twice if you use the e-brake!
Yup...My Bro-inlaw drives an 18 wheeler and he says its mandatory that all big rig drivers adhere to this law. Move over or Slow da fuk down.
