6/7/05-Gov. Christine Gregoire has signed a bill into law that raises the penalty for drivers in the state who won’t pull over and make way for emergency vehicles.
The new law, previously SB5038, increases the penalty for not yielding from as much as $101 to a flat fine of $500.
The law, which takes effect July 24, also requires drivers to move to another lane or reduce their speed when they are approaching an emergency vehicle with its flashing lights while parked or standing by the side of multilane roads.
