Explanation
California’s Move Over Law requires drivers to either move into another lane or slow down when approaching stationary emergency vehicles, tow trucks, or Caltrans vehicles displaying flashing lights on the roadside. If you can safely change lanes, move away from the stopped vehicle. If not, you must reduce your speed and proceed with caution. Always obey any direction given by a police officer, firefighter, or other authorized emergency personnel - even if it differs from posted signs or laws.
