Explanation
The Move Over Law requires drivers to take specific precautions to avoid collisions with parked or stopped emergency vehicles displaying flashing lights. When approaching these vehicles, drivers must move out of the lane closest to the emergency vehicle, if it is safe to do so. This creates a safety buffer between highway traffic and emergency responders. If moving over is not possible, slow down and pass with caution. The Move Over Law saves lives and helps protect police officers, emergency personnel, tow truck operators, and motorists.
