I got it for $165. Hadn't heard of it, but ignorance of the law is no excuse. I just wonder how many accidents this has caused, because of panicked lane changes. Joe Citizen doesn't count with these law-making reps we have in America.

NEW DRIVING LAW
In case you didn't know!

is very important! !

LICENSE FOR A YEAR--
SO
TELL YOUR KIDS AND EVERY ONE YOU KNOW WHO
DRIVES
NEW DRIVING
LAW =ALL STATES (Very
Important!)
While driving across Arizona
a few weeks ago, I observed an Arizona Highway
patrolman parked on the side of the freeway with
his lights flashing for no apparent reason. I
soon reasoned that he was probably waiting for
some unsuspecting soul to violate the new law.
Beware my friend.
I received this today.
From the size of that fine it seems like it
would be best to slow down to 20 MPH
under the speed limit AND move
over.
Subject: NEW DRIVING LAW
(Very Important!) I was aware of the move over
to outer lane and knew to slow down, but
I didn't know about
the 20 mph under speed limit. Thought maybe this
might be good information to pass
on.
Someone added: This
happened to my aunt on the four lane right
outside of Dyersburg, TN a few months ago.
Her ticket was
over $300 and it cost her three points on her
license, too. A state trooper and a
county cop had someone else pulled over. She
slowed down and moved over a little, but not all
the way into the other lane. The trooper wasn't
understanding at all. Mom was with her and she
didn't know about the law
either.
NEW TRAFFIC LAW
-
2010:
If a patrol car is pulled over to the side of
the road, you have to change to the next lane
(away from the stopped vehicle) OR slow down to
at least 20 mph under the posted speed
limit. Every state except Hawaii,
Maryland and the D.C. has this law. In
California, the Move-over law became operative
on January 1, 2010. http://www.moveoveramerica.com/
A friend's son got a
ticket for this recently. A police car (turned
out it was two police cars) was on the side of
the road giving a ticket to someone else. He
slowed down to pass but did not move into the
other lane. The second police car immediately
pulled him over and gave him a ticket. He had
never heard of the law. It is a fairly new law
that states if any emergency vehicle is on the
side of the road, if you are able, you are to
move into the far lane. The cost of the
ticket was $754, with three points on his
license and a mandatory court appearance.
Please let every-one you know who drives about
this new law. It is true (see details at the
following web addresses). This same law applies
to tow trucks and medical emergency vehicles,
like ambulances, stopped on the side of the
road.
