3/15/06-A bill in the Senate Transportation Committee 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,” S1333 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.
For bill status, call (609) 292-4840. In New Jersey, call 1-800-792-8630.
An identical Assembly bill – A258 – is in the Assembly Transportation and Public Works Committee.
