Move Over Law

The Move Over Law requires drivers to slow down and, if safe, move over to a different lane when approaching stopped emergency vehicles, tow trucks, or roadside assistance vehicles with flashing lights. The law aims to protect those working on or near the road from oncoming traffic. Violating this law can result in fines or other penalties. The key purpose is to ensure safety for roadside workers and emergency personnel, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries. Always stay alert and follow posted signs and signals when passing stopped vehicles on the road.
