Endangered Road Boulders* 0

Georgia poised to crush the stones:

House Bill 459 would allow authorities to ticket those who lollygag in the state’s left lanes. The bill makes it a misdemeanor for any driver on a divided highway who does not move to the right when a car going faster approaches from behind.

With the state House already signing off on the measure, all it needs is Gov. Nathan Deal’s signature to become law.

I certainly see the rationale for this, but I wonder whether folks who think fifteen miles an hour over the speed limit is their right will seize on this to justify their tailgating.

*”Road boulder” is a phrase from Gary Richards’s excellent Roadshow column.
