you two points on your license and as described below possible other driver license penalties. This ticket is

highway or road with 2 or more lanes. However, sometimes it is given to anyone who stays in the left lane
other than to pass a car.

to pass another car, it is not considered a driving lane. In addition, to the points associated with this ticket
you could also receive up to 15 days in jail. (note that unless your offense involves an accident or other
violations at the same time, or a mandatory court appearance it is rare, but possible for a judge to impose jail
or suspend your license).

increase your insurance rates on average $600 - $1200 per year for 3 years. For Insurance purposes it
takes 3 years from the date of your violation/conviction for the points to be eliminated off your insurance.
