This would hold regardless of the speed limit. If You're driving along at whatever speed , and someone driving faster comes up behind You , You're the 'slower traffic". Move over. It's not just the law. It's just plain common courtesy. I beliieve the law is most states is ’slower traffic use right lane’ . This would hold regardless of the speed limit.

So many parents are unaware of the danger their child are in due to improper use of a carseat, and need more education. The next step needs to be laws extending rear facing to age 2, at least. A child under 2 is at 5 times greater risk of serious injury, especially to their spinal cord, when forward facing. If you have a child, please take a moment to watch the following video on youtube! If you can't watch it all, skip to 1:33 and see what your child will experience if they are in a crash foward facing Vs. Rearfacing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2DVfqFhseo and Stacey, booster seats can be purchased with a weight limit of up to 120 pounds. Babiesrus website has a max weight limit listed with all our their carseats and booster seats. Love the focus on carseat safetly.

So please just move your finger two inches,click the turn signal and move over. It's what i do , unless i'm PASSING. As far as making a left turn , use your signal they will get the hint. @ barrineauparkdad

Too often parents think that just because a child can buckle themselves in that they fit properly into the seat of a car. There are booster seats that go up to 100 lbs and by that time the child will more than likely be over 4'9". If your child can sit with their back up against the back of the seat and their legs hang over the seat correctly (meaning that the back of the knee is against the edge of the seat and their legs aren't sticking out) than they are more than likely ready to be out of a carseat/booster. The placement of the chest seatbelt is also something to look at prior to taking them out of a carseat/booster. The law isn't meant to keep kids in a seat but to make sure that they are physically ready to be out of a carseat/booster and keep them safer in the car. As far as the left lane law.... I doubt that it'll change anything. People love to sit in that left lane and not get over even though common sense and common courtesy says that you should get over. People don't get over for emergency vehicles and that is a law so I don't think this will change peoples' driving habits. I like both of these.

Maybe they meant the child must ride in a car seat until age 7 or until he reaches 4'9" (if before age 7), although I admit that sounds ridiculous in itself. They can't seriously expect children of any age to ride in car seats until they reach 4'9" in height. Car seat manufacturers must be lobbying this bill to boost sales. If this law had been on the books several years ago, my daughter would have been required to ride in a car seat to get her restricted driver's license. Up to 4′9″ in a car seat?
