LAUGH IT OFF
Driving in Georgia, it seems like everyone is in one big rush all the time. We often see speeding, aggressive driving, road rage, reckless driving, and failure to follow the rules of the road. In an effort to keep our roads safe, the state established no- passing zones to benefit vehicles being passed and traveling in the opposite direction. No-passing zones are all distinctly marked by a shoulder barrier line on the right side of a combination strip on the center lane indicator line. In areas where a no-passing zone is marked, drivers are prohibited from driving on the left side of the road, even just for crossing. For a Georgia police officer to issue a citation for illegal passing, they must have evidence of this — the driver must have been the cause of an accident or have run another driver off the road.

So, where can you pass? To clarify, here are the passing rules each driver in the state of Georgia must follow:
PASSING ON THE LEFT SIDE Passing on the left side of another vehicle is prohibited unless the left side is clear of all oncoming traffic for a long enough period of time to be deemed safe enough to pass without interfering with any other vehicle on the road. PASSING ON THE RIGHT SIDE When it comes to passing a vehicle on the right-hand side, the laws are a bit more specific. A driver can only pass on the right in two different ways: 1) only when the first driver (the one being passed) is executing a left turn or 2) is positioned on a roadway with two or more lanes heading in the same direction as the passing vehicle. If you are ever charged with illegal passing, you may face many different penalties including having 3 points placed on your driver’s license. It should be noted that if you accumulate 15 or more points on your driver’s license over the course of two years, you may face license suspension and an increase in the cost of insurance. If you are charged with illegal passing, you can potentially be sued in a civil court of law if another person was injured due to illegal passing.
