Every year there are new laws. As citizens, we need to be aware of some of new laws as well as changes to laws. Couple years ago, in California, it was the law that prohibited drivers and motor operators from making calls on a cell phone without a handset. Last year was the law prohibiting drivers from text messaging while driving. Here is a new one and you should avoid at all costs because of the heavy fines involved.

The cost of the ticket was $754, with 3 points on your license
and a mandatory court appearance. (Good luck with your insurance premium after that.)
Important Law to Share:
I wanted to let my Medlock Bridge neighbors know about the CA move over law.
My son got a ticket on Pleasant Hill coming back from Wal-Mart. A Duluth
police car (turned out it was 2 police cars) was on the side of the road
giving a ticket to someone else. My son 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. My son and I 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 3 points on your license and a
mandatory court appearance.
Please let everyone you know that drives about this new law.
It is true (see details at the following web address). It states that except
two states, all the other US states (even Canada ) enacted similar kind of
law. New York and DC don’t have this law yet.
