Scott's Law

Scott's Law, also known as the Move Over Law, requires drivers to slow down and change lanes safely when approaching stationary emergency vehicles, tow trucks, or roadside workers displaying warning lights. The law aims to protect those working on or near roadways from injury or death by creating safer conditions. If it's unsafe to change lanes, drivers must reduce their speed significantly. Complying with Scott's Law helps prevent accidents and ensures the safety of emergency responders and roadside personnel. It's a legal obligation designed to promote awareness and responsible driving in situations requiring heightened caution.
