Does your state have a "move over law"?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) August 5th, 2011

Tennessee has it and now Kentucky has it. We call it the “move over law” as it applies to emergency vehicles. I must admit that this law has worked much better than I could ever have anticipated. Cars and trucks are switching lanes, when an officer has a vehicle stopped on the side of the road. This also applies to ambulances and fire engines. So many officers have been struck and killed, by other vehicles, that my state was forced to inact this new law. Question: does your state have this law and do you obey it, when you see blue or red lights on the side of the road?
