Virginia Implements New Move Over Law and Cannabis Changes

Virginia's expanded Move Over law takes effect, requiring drivers to slow down and move over for not only emergency vehicles with red, blue, or amber lights but also for stationary vehicles with hazard lights, warning signs, or flares. The law aims to create a safe barrier for those pulled over for maintenance or medical issues. Non-compliance can result in a fine of up to $250. AAA emphasizes the importance of following the law to save lives and urges drivers to imagine their loved ones in need of assistance on the side of the road.
