Here in Georgia they just passed a law .... We have had a similar law here in California for over 30 years. It is not enforced. The California Highway Patrol does not even acknowledge that the law exists.

They do, but since seat belt violations and speeding tickets are a greater revenue source, they typically focus on those first. Still, I was once in a car (not the driver) that was pulled over for obstructing traffic.
I was told by a friend (county sheriff deputy) that it also has a lot to do with enforceability. He said that if a driver is doing 65MPH in the left lane of a 65MPH marked freeway and has a line of cars behind him, he CAN write a ticket...but 9 out of 10 times the judge will toss it because they consider obeying the speed limit to be more important.
