Under the Move-Over Law, what is the expected action when you see a disabled vehicle on the highway with flashing hazard lights?
The Move-Over Law not only applies to emergency vehicles but also to any stopped vehicle with flashing hazard lights on the highway. A driver is expected to change lanes if possible or reduce speed if a lane change is unsafe. This ensures the safety of those both within the disabled vehicle and emergency responders who may be on scene, reducing risk of collision and improving safety conditions on the roadway.
