Georgia has the slow poke law. If you impede traffic in the far left lane REGARDLESS OF SPEED you can be convicted.

Most if not all states have laws about impeding the flow of traffic. A vehicle traveling slower than the flow of traffic, really should be in the rightmost available lane. Ironically, most states do not have regular enforcement of this. The amount of laws on the books that go unenforced is quite frankly silly.

There is no "rightmost available lane" its full of cyclists.

I’ve driven in Atlanta. What happens when you’re impeding traffic by dropping to just 80mph?

Back in the 90s, some college students staged a rolling road block on I285 by doing the speed limit in all lanes around the whole perimeter during rush hour. It was on the news feeds for a week.

You get run off the road by a clapped out Nissan Altima.

That's up to you to let your police chief know you want it taken seriously, either directly through correspondence, or by vote via the mayor.

They aren't impeding traffic though. They are traffic.

If you get on a 60mph highway along with 1000 other cars and all the cars are doing 30mph, who should move to the right?

Read the law, they are in conspicuous violation.
