What is the name of your state? Georgia
OK. here is the story. saturday, November 24th i was driving back to Atlanta from Athens. i was on hwy 78 in the right lane moving with traffic. traffic was fairly heavy. as i crested a hill i saw a GSP on the right shoulder of the road with his blue lights on. i usualy move over out of curtesy, but there was too much traffic to move to my left. also, i saw him about 300 yards before i passed him. i didnt have much time to react, one way or the other. anyways, after i passed him, he pulled onto the hwy, and pulled me over. he gave me a warning for 64 in a 55, and wrote me a ticket for "the move over law". i am a Firefighter, and i have never heard of this law. anyways, what should i do? i was planning on transfering to city of atlanta police dept this spring, and this ticket might put a end to that idea. what should i do?
btw, the move over law states anyone passing a stationary police, fire, or rescue vehicle with its lights on (blues or reds) must move one lane oppisite the vehicle if possible, and must slow to 10mph below the speed limit if moving over is not possible or legal. (code section 40-6-16)
