BETTER PAY ATTENTION TO THIS ONE. NEW TRAFFIC LAW - 2010 - 11

BETTER PAY ATTENTION TO THIS ONE.
AT $754.00 ALMOST LIKE A D.U.I.
Knew about the move over law but had not heard about the speed limit if you
cannot move over.

NEW TRAFFIC LAW - 2010 - 11

New 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. http://www.moveoveramerica.com/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 your license and a mandatory court appearance. Please let everyone you
know that drives about this new law. It is true (see details at the
following web address). http://www.moveoveramerica.com/
FL Law: Price may vary... The key word is MOVE OVER SAFELY!
1. Shall vacate the lane closest to the emergency vehicle or wrecker when driving on an interstate highway or other highway with two or more lanes traveling in the direction of the emergency vehicle or wrecker, except when otherwise directed by a law enforcement officer. If such movement cannot be safely accomplished, the driver shall reduce speed as provided in subparagraph 2.
