LAUGH IT OFF
Oftentimes, if you’re flagged down by a police officer or accused of driving under the influence, it’s the law to stop and pull over on the side of the road. In some cases, some people have even passed out in the middle of the road or at a stop light when they’ve had too much to drink. Laws in Georgia prohibit drivers from stopping in many different areas. In fact, you can be charged with improper stopping in some cases, and if you have, you should contact an attorney that you trust right away. So, where can and can’t you stop a motor vehicle? The law allows a person to stop their vehicle when necessary for the following reasons: to avoid conflict with traffic, to comply with the law, or to obey the direction of a law enforcement officer. But, where can’t you park your vehicle? Laws in the state of Georgia note that motor vehicle operators are prohibited from parking their vehicle in the following areas: • Where official signs prohibit stopping and standing • In front of a public or private driveway • On a sidewalk • Within 15 feet of a fire hydrant • Within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection • Within 20 feet of a driveway entrance to a fire station • Within 30 feet of approaching any flashing signal, traffic- control signal, stop sign, or yield sign • Within 50 feet of a railroad crossing • Within 75 feet of the spot across the street from a fire station driveway While it can be frustrating that you can’t stop your vehicle where you’d like due to the law, keep in mind that the purpose of Georgia’s Improper Stopping law is to prevent other drivers on the road from hitting a stationary vehicle, which may cause injury and significant damage.

ONE-PAN CHICKEN TACOS
This recipe from TikTok user @violet.cooks almost broke the internet — and you’ll see why! The fried tortillas make it out-of-this-world delicious.
INGREDIENTS
• 1 lb chicken breasts, sliced into 1-inch pieces • 2 tbsp garlic powder • 2 tbsp cumin • 2 tbsp chipotle powder
• Canola oil (for frying) • Corn tortillas • Grated cheddar cheese • Pico de gallo and
guacamole salsa (to taste)
DIRECTIONS 1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces, garlic powder, cumin, and chipotle powder. Mix until the chicken is coated. 2. In a frying pan, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken mixture. Cook on medium heat for 5–8 minutes. 3. Remove the chicken from the pan, and add the corn tortillas (avoid overlapping) so they soak up the juices. Flip the tortillas and repeat. Then, add chicken and grated cheddar to each tortilla and fold it over the filling — in the pan. 4. Cook the tacos for 3 minutes per side until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted. 5. Top with pico and guacamole salsa, and serve!
