were added to
Florida’s Move Over
Law?
You might be
wondering what the
Move Over Law
is. Well in Florida
drivers are required
to move over a
lane for stopped
law enforcement,
emergency, sanitation, utility service vehicles, tow trucks
or wreckers, maintenance, or construction vehicles with
displaying warning lights.
However, there are times when that isn’t always possible,
as a vehicle could be in the lane next to you and it is unsafe
to move over, or you could be on a two-lane road. In those
scenarios you should slow to a speed that is 20 mph less than
the posted speed limit, or slow down to 5 mph when the posted
speed limit is 20 mph or less.
The expansion of the Move Over Law that took effect on Jan.
1, now includes any disabled vehicles on the side of the road, to
help protect motorists that are stopped on the side of the road.
In 2022, there were 170 crashes and more than 14,000
citations issued for motorists failing to move over in Florida.
For more information on how you can protect yourself
and others on the road, visit www.flhsmv.gov/safety-center/.
