A new law makes not moving over to another lane when there’s faster traffic behind you an offense for which you could get a ticket. Rep. Eddie Lumsden, R-Armuchee, said this law, which went into effect July 1, shouldn’t come as a surprise to motorists. “One of the first things I learned when I took my driver’s test was slower traffic keep right,” Lumsden said.
