Move Over Law

["Dennis C." <dennis.2914@xxxxxxxxx>]

This came to me from another group:

NEW DRIVING LAW =ALL STATES (Very Important!)

While driving across Arizona a few weeks ago, I observed an Arizona
Highway patrolman parked on the side of the freeway with his lights
flashing for no apparent reason. I soon reasoned that he was probably
waiting for some unsuspecting soul to violate the new law.  Beware my
friend.
>From the size of that fine it seems like it would be best to slow down
to 20 MPH under the speed limit AND move over.
I was aware of the move over to outer lane and knew to slow down, but
I didn't know about the 20 mph under speed limit. Thought maybe this
might be good information to pass on.
Someone added: This happened to my aunt on the four lane right outside
of Dyersburg , TN a few months ago. Her ticket was over $300 and it
cost her three points on her license, too. A state trooper and a
county cop had someone else pulled over. She slowed down and moved
over a little, but not all the way into the other lane. The trooper
wasn't understanding at all. Mom was with her and she didn't know
about the law either.
    NEW TRAFFIC LAW - 2010 If a patrol car is pulled over to the side
of the road, you have to change to the next lane (away from the
stopped vehicle) OR slow down to at least 20 mph under the posted
speed limit. Every state and Maryland and the D.C. has this law.  In
Hawaii, the Move-over law became effective on July 10, 2012. In
California, the Move-over law became operative on January 1, 2010. A
friend's son got a ticket for this recently. A police car (turned out
it was two police cars) was on the side of the road giving a ticket to
someone else. He slowed down to pass but did not move into the other
lane. The second police car immediately pulled him over and gave him a
ticket. He had never heard of the law. It is a fairly new law that
states if any emergency vehicle is on the side of the road, if you are
able, you are to move into the far lane. The cost of the ticket was
$754, with three points on his license and a mandatory court
appearance. Please let every-one you know who drives about this new
law. It is true (see details at the following web addresses).This same
law applies to tow trucks and medical emergency vehicles like
ambulances on the side of the road.
