So, I was looking at the NC laws the other day, and saw the following law. It became effective on December 1, 2011. I think that this law is good, but I am not sure if it is going to be enforced, unless there is a wreck. What do you all think about it?
G.S. 20-154
"'(a1) A person who violates subsection (a) of this section and causes a motorcycle operator to change travel lanes or leave that portion of any public street or highway designated as travel lanes shall be responsible for an infraction and shall be assessed a fine of not less than two hundred dollars ($200.00). A person who violates subsection (a) of this section that results
in a crash causing property damage or personal injury to a motorcycle operator or passenger shall be responsible for an infraction and shall be assessed a fine of not less than five hundred dollars ($500.00).
Here is the link to the law.
