Georgia rules people get wrong

On a highway divided by a median, traffic on the opposite side from a stopped school bus does not have to stop.
A slow-moving-vehicle emblem means the vehicle moves at less than 25 mph.
HOV violations. up to $75 first, rising to $150 plus a point on your record by the fourth offense.
