The “Move Over Law” is NOT a trap … it’s simply common sense! Unfortunately, there is a severe glut of Idiots in Virginia (esp. Northern Virginia) that have prompted this law.
It’s a good and valid law, and hopefully it will force a more cautious driver onto our highways and byways!
This is just another example of a poorly written law abused to levy heavy fines against the citizens of Virginia. The law clearly states the requirements for motorists (move over or maintain the posted speed). A ticket to the contrary should be fought in court. I won’t get into my disdain for law enforcement who crack down on speeding when that same manpower can be used for better activities like thwarting real crimes. As a taxpayer I would like to see this law repealed.
