| PULL OVER. In the South, people generally know what to do when they see a funeral procession. A bill moving through the Georgia Legislature would spell it out for those who don’t. House Bill 77 by state Rep. Lehman Franklin, R-Statesboro, contains detailed instructions for what to do on a rural, two-lane road when encountering a solemn line of vehicles with their lights on. It requires drivers to pull over, putting their vehicle “parallel to, and as close as possible to, the right-hand edge or curb of the roadway.” People who don’t comply could be fined up to $100. The bill changes some things about the processions, too, including requiring that the lead and last vehicle display flashing hazard lights so other drivers can more easily identify them. The bill easily cleared a House committee this week. A similar bill passed the House last year but did not pass the Senate. Read more by subscribing to the Politically Georgia newsletter |
