      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/.
