"Florida to Enact Expanded 'Move Over' Law and Additional New Regulations in 2024"
Florida's 'Move Over Law' has been expanded as of January 1, 2024, to include a requirement for drivers to move over for any stopped vehicle displaying warning lights, emergency flares, signage, or with a person present. The expansion aims to improve road safety and prevent crashes, which in 2023 included 176 incidents and serious injuries due to non-compliance. The Florida Highway Patrol emphasizes the importance of this law in protecting both officers and community members on the road.
