ATLANTA, GA (WALB) – Georgia lawmakers are going after Super Speeders. Now, they are targeting super slow pokes.
Republican Representative Mark Butler's proposed bill fines drivers $75.00 if they are caught blocking the left lane by driving too slow.
If passed, the law would require drivers in the passing lane of a multi-lane highway to move over if they are being over taken by a faster vehicle.
Proponents of the measure say it is not designed to encourage speeding, but it would give drivers a better understanding of proper lane usage.
If the "slow poke" bill passes the Senate and is signed into law by the governor - it would take effect July 1st.
