MOVE OVER LAW - Ticket cost $754.00
I posted this in one of the groups I follow but figured I would post it here too... I just received this in my email, confirmed it with Snoops.com and decided to post it here...
FYI
New Law 2010 - Ticket cost $754.00
GOOD THING TO KNOW: New Law: If a patrol car is pulled over to the side of the road, you have to change to the next lane (away from the stopped vehicle) or slow down by 20 mph. Every state except Hawaii, Maryland and D.C. has this law. In California , the "Move-over" law became operative on January 1, 2010.
A friend's son got a ticket for this recently. A police car (turned out it was 2 police cars) was on the side of the road giving a ticket to someone else. He 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. He 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 (be sure and look to make sure no one is passing on the left), 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: http://www.moveoveramerica.com/

What a dumb law... with another over the top fine. OK, I can understand they make the fine so high so people abide, but they make it our responsibility to find out about new laws... "Oh, you didn't hear about the new law?"
They should technically have a web site dedicated to new laws, rather than one for each, as well as send a notice to all drivers. Sounds like another way to generate revenue to me.

Yeah, I think it will rarely be enforced unless a trap is setup on a highway that's not too busy.
