"Florida's Expanded 'Move Over' Law Among New 2024 Traffic Regulations"
Florida has expanded its "Move Over" law to include all vehicles on the side of the road with hazard lights or other emergency signals on. Drivers are now required to move over a lane or slow down to under 20 mph when approaching stranded drivers. This change aims to increase safety for all road users, including emergency responders and tow truck operators, who face significant risks on the road. The law comes with a maximum fine of $158 for violations, and there is a call for stronger enforcement to ensure compliance and prevent roadside accidents.
