Move over laws are enforced in all 50 states, but most people don't know what these laws entail. If you see that a vehicle needs to get to the shoulder of the road right away, or there's an ambulance or police car that needs to get to a car on the side of the road, it's important to follow these laws.
If possible, you should change lanes away from the shoulder of the road, so that there is open space for the vehicle in distress or the emergency vehicle to safely move off the highway. If there is too much traffic and you can't change lanes, you should slow down so that you're driving 15 mph under the speed limit.
It's very important to follow these laws to make sure that individuals who have been in accidents can get the assistance they need right away. Move over laws also keep law enforcement officers or emergency medical technicians from being injured while trying to aid others.
