BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho police are starting to enforce a new law targeting slow drivers using the passing lanes of highways. 
 
 Two drivers have been cited as of July 27 for driving too slowly in the passing lane since the law took effect July 1, the Idaho Press reported Monday. 
 
 Idaho State Police have given warnings to three other drivers. 
 
 Most people expect the general traffic to stay on the right lane and leave the left lanes open for passing, said Lt. Shawn Staley. 
 
 "If vehicles are moving slower, it can cause accidents and crashes," he said. 
 
 The law doesn't specify how much time it should take for slow cars to move over to the right lane. Staley expects it should be within a normal and reasonable time, as determined by troopers. 
 
 Drivers who hold up traffic by going below the speed limit in the left lane could face a $90 fine, Staley said. 
 
 "Guys will make traffic stops on it," Staley said. "But it would have to be fairly egregious." 
 
 State Rep. Lance Clow of Idaho Falls sponsored the bill. The Republican doesn't expect state troopers to actively look for slow drivers, but said they have a new tool if needed. 
 
 The law also allows drivers to go 15 mph (24 kph) over the speed limit on a two-lane road to pass a vehicle going below the speed limit. 
 
 It does not apply to multilane highways or Interstate 84, Staley said. 
 
 Those driving the speed limit on the left lanes will not be fined even if they "impede" drivers who want to speed, Staley said. 
 
 "If you're going the lawful rate of speed, another person shouldn't push up behind you," he said.

 That's because a new bill in the Georgia legislature would make it illegal to drive slower than the speed limit in the fast lane when someone is behind you. 
 
 Under the proposed law, in such a circumstance you'd be required to move out of the fast lane -- or face a fine for a moving violation, state Rep. Kevin Tanner (R-Dawsonville), one of the bill's sponsors, told The Huffington Post over the phone on Tuesday. 
 
 "This type of behavior causes accidents and road rage and that type of thing," Rep. Tanner said, emphasizing that the law is specifically for people traveling slower than the speed limit. 
 
 While there is already a law in Georgia against impeding traffic by driving in the left-hand lane, that law doesn't stipulate what the penalty would be for violators. 
 
 The new bill, HB 459, was introduced on Feb. 22, 2013, by state Rep. Bill Hitchens (R-Rincon), a former state rrooper, . 
 
 "I always say it's the manners your momma should have taught you; if someone pulls up behind you, you move to the right and let them by," Hitchens said, according to My Fox Atlanta. 
 
 In 2010 the Georgia House passed a similar bill by an overwhelming margin, but the bill died in the legislature before it could be signed by the Georgia's then-governor, Sonny Perdue.
