I think moving over for "any" vehicle to be a no brainer and a smart thing to do. I dislike more laws on the books but it seems there is a serious lack of Driver Ed today, hence more laws. If it takes a law to get folks attention, then so be it.

BTW: Watch the big trucks... as a general rule, most will always move over if possible "unless" a four wheeler won't let them out.

There is a much better reason to get over than just a ticket.

Save your car! (Who cares about the safety BS, its all about the paint and windows!!! :twisted: ) When people are on the shoulder, quite often there will be loose gravel in that lane, right where they get over. I don't know how it gets there (as the car is moving onto the shoulder not off, but I'm not a physics guy), I just know at least half the time I am forced to sit in the right lane with anyone on the Shoulder, I or the SOB infront of me kicks a stone.

So, there is a good selfish reason we can all appreciate to "do the right thing".
