Center Lane - 300 feet violation

How can anyone know that when they go into the center lane of a road and cruise through that they have gone more than 300 feet? If you did went over 300, a bald cop with carnival lights on top of his black and white car just shows up behind you. Next thing you know, a pair of black shades crosses your driver's window and a voice, so confident as if it can eat you, willfully ask for your driver's license. Next thing you know, you are handed a yellow piece of paper which is equivalent to about $241.25 USD. That's what I've gotten, for going over 300 feet on a center lane.

How can you tell if you've gone 300 feet in the center lane? You can't even measure it using your speedometer. Would be great if there's an iPhone app for this since I always need to cross the center lane to avoid the heavy traffic on both sides - specially in the intersection of Pleasant Hill Rd and Peachtree Industrial Blvd - Duluth, GA.

Of course the Solicitor at the court, doesn't need to hear what my reason was and bluntly laid out the law stating that once you are in a center lane, no matter what the conditions are, and you go over 300 feet, you'll get a ticket. It's amazing how the government makes money easily. And the Solicitor does a good job at ensuring you still get to pay, even if the violation was suppressed to a lesser degree. He does make sure, before you get out of the courthouse, you pay.
