The Wisconsin State Patrol’s October Law-of-the-Month reminds driver to move over and slow down for emergency responders and other roadside workers.
The state’s Move Over law requires drivers to move out of the lane closest to stopped law enforcement vehicles, ambulances, fire and tow trucks, utility or highway maintenance vehicles that have their warning lights activated.
If unable to move over, vehicle operators must slow down.
Violations can result in a citation of $263.
National Move Over Day was Saturday, October 17th.
The State Patrol says there were over 1,600 traffic convictions in Wisconsin for violating that law in 2018 and ’19.
