1/11/06-Assemblyman Upendra Chivukula, D-Somerset, has introduced a bill that would require drivers to maintain a safe distance and reduce speed when approaching an emergency vehicle parked by the road with their lights flashing.
Dubbed the “Move Over Act,” A258 would require drivers to merge into a lane further away from an emergency vehicle. On two-lane highways, drivers would be required to reduce speed before passing the emergency vehicle.
Failure to obey the rule could result in a $50 fine.
The bill is in the Assembly Transportation and Public Works Committee
