AB 208, Bigelow. Vehicles: highway: lane use.

Existing law (2015) requires, on a 2-lane highway where passing is
unsafe due to specified reasons, *a slow-moving vehicle* behind
which 5 or more vehicles are formed in a line to turn off the roadway
at the nearest place designed as a turnout or wherever sufficient
area of a safe turnout exists in order to permit the vehicles
following it to proceed.

This bill (2016) requires, on a 2-lane highway where passing is
unsafe due to specified reasons, *any vehicle* proceeding upon
the highway at a speed less than the *normal speed of traffic*
moving in the same direction at that time, behind which 5 or more
vehicles are formed in line, to turn off the roadway at the
nearest place designated as a turnout or wherever sufficient area
for a safe turnout exists.

"slow moving" vs "any vehicle at less than normal speed"

Creates a catch 22. Going the speed limit is less than the normal speed
of traffic. Going the normal speed of traffic is speeding. Perfect when
combined with the war on some drugs and civil asset forfeiture.

[Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris.
"We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not
a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we
mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any
government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well,
when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares
so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men
to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding
citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind
of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively
interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then
you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's
the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to
deal with.”]
