BTW, if you think about it, this law is stupid anyway, and isn't likely to make much of a safety difference.
Someone who is both aware of this law and consciously wiling to move out of the right lane is probably driving safely, anyway, and is very unlikely to swerve into an officer on the side of the road.
The people who run into side-of-the-road people and vehicles are ones who are either drunk, tired, or not paying attention. These people wouldn't be aware enough to move out of the right lane anyway, even if they knew about the law.
It's like those stupid red light cameras. The accidents due to running red lights are almost always caused by those driving recklessly in the first place (drunk, etc), and those people wouldn't be dissuaded by the presence of cameras.
Just more bullshit to write more tickets in the false name of safety.
