Just pay the ticket.

There’s no question here about your guilt - you admit you violated the law. You got caught, so pay up

Move over or slow way down next time, and you won’t get ticketed again.

It’s an expensive ticket. Cost my BIL $300 quite awhile ago. He was able to just pay it and not go to court.

It’s been a law for years. However, if you cannot safely move lanes, you slow down significantly.

You aren't the slowpoke in the left lane for long. Just move over.

+1 This law has been in effect regarding police cars for almost 25 years. If you can’t get over, slow way down.

Yes, in the US. And the bolded statement above is not intended as an excuse, but rather an acknowledgement that perhaps others are also unfamiliar with the law.

It's done. I wish I could change it, but I can't. And there were a bunch of cars that flew past me in the right lane while the police car and I were sitting on the shoulder, so I'm not the only one.

But everyone was doing it!!!!

Grow up, OP.

Lesson learned. Pay your fine. Law enforcement officers die all the time because they are hit by cars.

Where did you learn how to drive?

Virginia?

Has anyone been pulled over and given a summons for Virginia's Move Over Law (46.2.861.1A)? I passed a police officer on the shoulder and stayed in the right lane rather than move over. I truly didn't know that I was required to change lanes.

It will take some time for the ticket to be put into the court system. I don't know if I can waive the trial for this offense or how much the fine will be. I would be grateful for any information that's out there.

And, yes, I understand why this law exists and I know I made a mistake. I am a careful driver, with no prior tickets and no accidents. I stay in the right lane because I'm the driver that isn't going fast enough for many. Please don't yell at me.
