MOVE-OVER LAW: 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 except Hawaii and Maryland and the D .C. has this law. In California, the Move-over law became operative on January 1, 2010.
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 your license and a mandatory court appearance.
Please let everyone you know that drives about this new law.
